"What is an orthodontist?" |
|
An orthodontist
is a dentist who has undergone specialized training to diagnose,
prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities in patients.
Within the U.S., orthodontists are required to complete a two- to three-year advanced residency program in orthodontics following the completion of their four-year graduate dental program. Each of these programs must be accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. For more information about how we at Kenneth W Baker DDS can help you with dental braces, call us at (956) 686-2052, we will be happy to talk with you. |
