YOUR CHARLOTTE & JACKSON ORTHODONTIST
Meet Dr. Jessica Backinger
Dr. Backinger and her husband, Douglas, have deep roots in Jackson where they were born and raised. Their connection to the community is a driving force behind her passion for orthodontics and making a difference in patients' lives.
A graduate of Kalamazoo College, Dr. Backinger furthered her education at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.
Her dedication to the field led her to complete her orthodontic residency at the Orthodontic Department of Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (formerly UMDNJ).
The Specialized Care of Orthodontists vs. Dentists
Understanding the distinction between dentists and orthodontists is crucial when considering teeth straightening procedures. While both professions are dedicated to improving oral health, orthodontists like Dr. Backinger receive additional years of specialized training focused exclusively on correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaws. This expertise makes orthodontists the experts in designing and implementing effective treatment plans for straightening teeth, correcting bites, and achieving optimal smile aesthetics. Opting for an orthodontist for your orthodontic care ensures you are receiving specialized attention from a professional deeply knowledgeable about the latest techniques and technologies in teeth alignment.
