A dentist performs preventative care along with a variety of dental services: from pediatric and restorative to cosmetic dentistry. An Orthodontist is a specialist who has two to three years of additional education and an expert in correcting bites and aligning your teeth to achieve healthy and esthetic smiles. Orthodontists diagnose and choose the most appropriate treatment option for you. This includes clear aligners like Invisalign and/or braces. When starting an orthodontic treatment, it’s especially important to make sure it is provided by a qualified specialist Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. Board Certification is a high level of achievement that demonstrates a personal commitment to providing lifelong quality patient care.
