Why Choose an Orthodontist When Considering Orthodontic Treatment?

Why choose an Orthodontist when considering orthodontic treatment? This video, created by the American Association of Orthodontists, discusses why you should choose an orthodontist when considering orthodontic treatment.


An orthodontist completes several years of extensive training beyond dental school to become an expert in straightening teeth and correcting jaw problems. A general dentist who does braces may see only a handful of orthodontic cases a year, mixed in with all their drilling and filling. An Orthodontist only practices orthodontics and treats hundreds of orthodontic cases a year. An Orthodontist is a specialist in ‘Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthodopedics’, the same way a Cardiologist or Neurologist is a specialist in their respective fields. When it comes to the challenges and complexities of orthodontic treatment, most people prefer a specialist that’s well trained and experienced. You wouldn’t have a general physician perform open heart surgery or brain surgery on you.

Dr. Badii is an orthodontist, and you will receive the best orthodontic care possible at Badii Orthodontics.
