What is an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists specialise in alignment of teeth and jaws. You might know orthodontics as "braces". An orthodontist works with your dentist to look after your teeth in the same way as a cardiologist works with your doctor to treat a heart condition.
As most parents (and all children) know, kids can be cruel to each other. To a child with crooked teeth a playground can be as much fun as swimming with sharks. But the problems that orthodontists treat aren't merely appearance-based. Crooked teeth and bad bites can be serious conditions, with serious health implications and are best treated by orthodontists. The best time to visit an orthodontist is at the age of seven, but it's never too late.
If you're an adult and want to have your teeth straightened or your bite corrected, the best person to talk to is your dentist. Your dentist will discuss your individual case with an orthodontist regarding your concerns and the appropriate treatment available.
Giving the gift of enhancing a beautiful smile is one of the longest lasting and truly wonderful investment that you could ever make.
