Have you ever embarked on a DIY home project? Maybe you wanted to take on something large, like installing an irrigation system, re-tiling around a bathtub, or even building a patio. If so, you know that your own experience and training—not to mention the tools you use—will play a significant role in the overall outcome. It’s the same when it comes to dental specialties.
Why See an Orthodontist?
Orthodontic specialists spend an additional 2-3 years at a university to complete their training on growth and development and the biology and mechanics of safe and efficient tooth movement. They are trained to evaluate scientific discoveries for validity and effectiveness to help make research-based clinical decisions for their patients.
This training is on top of 4 years of dental school. Orthodontists have advanced training in orofacial development, bite correction, and growth modification. Their knowledge of oral function and anatomy makes them skilled specialists when it comes to adjusting tooth and jaw alignment. This knowledge is particularly important in scenarios related to growing children or atypical oral development. There is truly only one puberty growth spurt and that growth energy must be harvested wisely by an expert in the right way at the right time. Once the growth is gone, opportunities are lost for optimal corrections.
At Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontic Specialists of Michigan, we have both the onsite equipment required for orthodontic therapies, access to new and exciting technologies that help make treatment more enjoyable and efficient and an expansive team of specialists who are committed to solely providing orthodontic care day in and day out.
Simply put, choosing an orthodontist is the very best choice for safe, effective and efficient delivery of orthodontic treatment for children and adults.
