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.
