What is a Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a specialized dentist who focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. They undergo additional years of training beyond dental school to become experts in aligning bites and creating straighter smiles. Orthodontists address issues like overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and gaps between teeth, using customized treatment plans to improve both function and appearance. Their work not only enhances oral health but also boosts patients' self-esteem by delivering aesthetically pleasing results.
What does a Orthodontist do?
Orthodontists perform a range of duties to correct dental and facial irregularities. They conduct thorough examinations, including X-rays and digital scans, to diagnose issues like misaligned teeth or jaw imbalances. Based on their findings, they develop personalized treatment plans, which may involve installing braces, clear aligners, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances. They monitor progress through regular check-ups, making adjustments as needed to ensure effective results. Additionally, they educate patients on oral hygiene during treatment and provide post-treatment care to maintain outcomes. Ultimately, orthodontists aim to achieve optimal oral function, health, and a confident smile for their patients.
