Nashville Orthodontist

Your Premier Nashville Orthodontist

Why A Nashville Orthodontist?

Orthodontist vs. Dentist

An orthodontist is a dentist, but a dentist is not an Orthodontist. All orthodontists are dentists first, though not every dentist has the qualifications to be an orthodontist. Every orthodontist receives formal education for 2 or 3 additional years before receiving the necessary license and certification. Orthodontists spend years of studying nothing but how and why to move teeth. This includes what to do, how to plan, and how to execute the appropriate treatment plan.

Why does it matter if you see your Nashville Orthodontist?

Specialists receive additional training to give them the skills needed to deal with more complex orthodontic problems. Dentists receive basic orthodontic training which allows them to perform root canals, extract wisdom teeth, and treat young children who do not need to see an orthodontist yet.

Seeing a specialist like your Nashville orthodontist may change your experience in braces by:

Providing additional treatment options.

• Giving you more efficient treatment and visits, because it is the office's primary area of care.
• Knowing that you'll receive the best possible outcome on your treatment plan, especially if you have severe bite problems that need to be addressed.
