When it comes to perfecting your pearly whites, you might be tempted to visit your friendly local dentist. But wait! Before you make that appointment, let’s chat about why seeing an orthodontist can be the best decision for your smile.
Orthodontists undergo an additional 3+ years of specialised training after dental school focused solely on aligning teeth. So, while your dentist is great at keeping cavities at bay, an orthodontist is a master at making your smile shine like a Hollywood star!
Orthodontists are all about the latest gadgets and gizmos! From 3D imaging to clear aligners, they have the tools to create a customised treatment plan that’s as unique as your smile. Say goodbye to the old metal mouth look and hello to stylish options that fit your lifestyle!
When you visit an orthodontist, you’re not just another patient in the chair. They take the time to understand your specific needs and goals. Want to straighten your teeth for that upcoming wedding? Or maybe you just want to feel more confident in your smile? Having treated thousands of smiles and most of the more complex cases, treatment time is usually shorter and with more optimal end results to give that perfect smile.
Sure, your dentist can help with some orthodontic issues, but an orthodontist dives deep into the root of the problem. With their expertise, they can ensure that your teeth not only look good but stay in place for the long haul. No one likes the idea of braces twice, right?
So, the next time you’re considering orthodontic treatment, remember that while your general dentist is fantastic and able, an orthodontist is your go-to for all things alignment. With their specialised skills, cutting-edge technology, and a sprinkle of fun, you’ll be on your way to a dazzling smile in no time!
