What Does an Orthodontist Do?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities. Unlike general dentists who provide routine cleanings, fillings, and other general dental care, orthodontists undergo additional years of specialized training to master the science of tooth movement and facial development.
Orthodontic treatment goes beyond just aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in improving oral function, speech, and long-term dental health. Issues like overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and crossbites can lead to difficulties in chewing, increased risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw discomfort. By using braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic appliances, an orthodontist can correct these problems, enhancing both the appearance and function of a patient’s smile.
At Facing the Future Orthodontics, we use cutting-edge technology, such as digital scans and 3D imaging, to create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether you’re a child, teen, or adult, orthodontic care can provide lifelong benefits, from a healthier bite to a more confident smile.
