Recently there has been a lack of understanding
about who should be providing your orthodontic care. Most patients contemplate
on whether they should seek treatment for braces or clear aligners from their
general family dentist, or a certified orthodontic specialist. Making the
decision to get orthodontic treatment is an important one that will affect your
dental health for a lifetime, so it’s important that consumers are informed of
the significant differences in care between a certified orthodontist and a
general dentist.
In reality, just like not all doctors are the
same, the same fact is true when it comes to dentistry. Did you know that all
orthodontists are dentists, but only 7% of dentists are orthodontists? This is
determined by training, as all general dentists complete 8,000 hours of dental
training for their dental degrees, orthodontists start with this same training
and continue on with over 4,000-6,000 hours in an accredited residency program
to learn orthodontic basics. A general dentist is wonderful for routine dental
work, but the scope of their practice is preventive, cosmetic, and restorative.
Orthodontists, on the other hand, are trained specialist and have the expertise
in smile and facial esthetics, jaw function, facial growth and development,
tooth movement, alignment of teeth and jaws, and straightening of teeth. Thus,
orthodontists have the best experience, judgement, and certifications to give
the best orthodontic treatment for all patients with braces.
You will notice today several general dentists
are advertising orthodontic care such as Invisalign, as well as offering
special discounts for these treatments. We urge you to recognize that these
general dentists are not orthodontic specialists recognized by the American
Dental Association.
At Beim Orthodontics we understand that your smile is priceless and want you to be confident in knowing that our orthodontic office is the clear choice for braces.
