Is All Charlotte, NC, Orthodontic Treatment the Same?

  • Burrow Welchel & Culp Orthodontics
  • November 14, 2018

When it comes to matters of your teeth, our orthodontists say all Charlotte, NC, orthodontic treatment is not the same! Keep reading for expert advice on choosing the best orthodontist for your needs.

Look for an Orthodontist with Credentials

First and foremost, it’s important to choose a professional with the correct education and credentials. Orthodontists are dentists who undergo an additional two to three years of education after dental school. They go through extensive training on jaw function, tooth movement, and how they work together to become experts in the field and gain the knowledge necessary to provide you with a straight, healthy smile.

Beyond the proper education, looking for an orthodontist who is board-certified and takes continuing education courses on a regular basis is recommended. Because the field is ever-changing, orthodontists must stay up-to-date on the latest industry treatments and advancements. Find a professional who fits these criteria to get a head start on your healthy smile.

Choose an Experienced Orthodontist

Because earning a degree isn’t enough, our orthodontists also suggest looking at experience when choosing a professional. An experienced orthodontist should be able to provide you with examples of their work. Before and after pictures are great tools to gauge the ability of an orthodontist. They should also be able to show you upfront what your teeth will look like after treatment. Orthodontic treatment is important and if you’re working with a professional who can’t provide you with these items, then we recommend looking at other options

All Charlotte, NC, Orthodontic Treatment Is Not the Same – Our Orthodontists Explain Why

Your Oral Health is at Risk

Orthodontic treatment affects the health of your whole mouth. If you choose an uneducated or inexperienced orthodontist, then you run the risk of receiving poor treatment. When orthodontic treatment is done incorrectly, it can lead to issues like receding gums, chipping or cracking of the teeth, or even worse, temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Contact our office today for more information or to schedule a consultation.

Ms. Judith was absolutely amazing when she put my braces on! She patiently went over every step of the tedious process and made sure I understood what was happening the whole time.

She made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel very comforting!
