Why Choose A Board-Certified Orthodontist?
What Is A Board-Certified Orthodontist?
A board-certified orthodontist has undergone hundreds of hours of additional study and completed rigorous examinations to achieve their certification from the American Board of Orthodontics. Board-certifications must also be renewed every ten years, ensuring that members keep up with the latest advancements in orthodontia. They are true specialists, and can offer a level of patient care that is second-to-none.
Why Choose a Board-Certified Orthodontist?
When you choose a board-certified orthodontist, you’re choosing peace of mind. Know that your oral health is in the hands of a highly-trained expert, and that your smile will be beautiful and functional for the long run.
Education
To prepare for board exams, orthodontists must undergo additional study on top of their orthodontic residency. This means they have a deeper understanding of facial anatomy and how it relates to the smile, so they can provide patients with exceptional care.
Commitment
Board-certification is a voluntary achievement that only about 1 in 3 orthodontists complete. Certification must be renewed every 10 years, so board-certified orthodontists are constantly self-evaluating and keeping up with the latest in orthodontic techniques and technology.
Peace of Mind
When you go to a board-certified orthodontist, you’re choosing a highly-trained professional at the top of their field. They will work with you to create a custom treatment plan that addresses the look of your smile, the functionality of your bite, the alignment of your jaw, and much more.

Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, can shift your jaw to create a more attractive smile. It can also improve the way your bite fits together for better function.
Clear aligners can gradually shift your teeth into the strong, straight smile of your dreams — without anyone noticing. If you’re looking for a metal and bracket-free approach to treatment, talk to your dentist about our clear aligner options.
Interested in braces but looking for a less noticeable option? Ceramic braces are made out of a translucent ceramic material that matches the natural color of your teeth. It’s a great way to get all the benefits of traditional braces, without shiny metals or bright colors.
In our efforts to remain at the forefront of orthodontic technology, we use a combination of 3D scanning and 3D printing to create custom appliances that are free from traditional bands and separators for a more comfortable, personalized orthodontic experience.
