Did you know that all orthodontists must attend dental school, so they are dentists first—but only about 6% of dentists go on to become orthodontic specialists? To become an orthodontist, your doctor must undergo an additional two to three years of an intensive specialty residency, focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues. While both play important roles in maintaining oral health, orthodontists have the specialized training and experience, with the skills to diagnose and treat a wide range of orthodontic issues-from simple crowding to complex bite problems-and it’s exactly what your smile deserves.
