Choosing the right orthodontist can be a difficult decision to make. And since orthodontics is not only a science, but an art as well, it is important that you find one who is not only experienced, but also skilled at doing both. In order to have a happy and healthy smile, it is critical that the shape and positioning of your teeth and bite is just right.
Before making the decision on which orthodontist is right for you, always be sure to consider their experience and their reputation.
Experience
While every orthodontist has to start somewhere, it is critical to ensure that your orthodontist has not only received the schooling and training necessary, but he or she has been in practice for a while. Make sure he or she is a licensed member of the American Association of Orthodontists, completing two to three years of postgraduate classes and clinical work. Also ensure that they are up-to-date on research, as well as practicing modern technological advances in orthodontics.
Recommendations
It is also a good idea to ask your dentist for a recommendation, especially if you don’t know where to start looking. Once you find an orthodontist that you would like to consider, be sure to ask for recommendations from other patients, as well as ask to see before and after photos, which will help you to get a better understanding of their work.
