- Patients often come into our office without a clear understanding of the difference between a general dentist and an orthodontist.
- An orthodontist is a dentist first. Firstly, we graduated from dental school. Following this, we went on to specialize in orthodontics. This is typically a 2-3 year residency program that follows dental school.
- Eventually, as we develop a specialty in orthodontics, we become very well-versed in what we’re doing. In fact, we tackle the most difficult aspects of orthodontics.
