What does an orthodontist do?

An orthodontist is a dental professional who specializes in diagnosing, preventing, and treating issues related to teeth and jaw alignment. Unlike general dentists, orthodontists undergo additional years of training after dental school, focusing exclusively on orthodontic care. This advanced education equips them to address complex problems such as crooked teeth, bite irregularities, and jaw misalignments, helping patients achieve healthier, more functional smiles.

An orthodontist is a dentist, but a dentist is not an orthodontist.

When to consider orthodontic care

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about achieving a straighter smile: it also enhances oral health and functionality.

• Bite concerns (overbite, underbite, crossbite): Correcting bite issues improves chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall facial harmony.
• Crowded teeth: Realigning crowded teeth makes oral hygiene easier, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
• Spacing issues: Closing gaps between teeth enhances aesthetics and promotes better dental function.
• Jaw misalignment: Addressing jaw alignment can alleviate discomfort and improve chewing.

Invisalign in Newton Centre

Invisalign® is popular with adults and teenagers.

Invisalign uses clear, removable tray aligners that gently push teeth into the proper positions. The trays are almost invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. You remove them to drink, eat, and perform oral hygiene.

Whether or not Invisalign is a part of your insurance coverage depends on the provisions of your policy. Our Newton Centre office is happy to help guide you through the gamut to determine how much coverage you can receive.

Choosing an orthodontist

When looking for an orthodontist, or really any type of doctor, you should define your needs.

• Are you looking for a family practice?
• Is the orthodontist recommended by family, friends, or your family dentist?
• Where is the office? Is it a convenient location?
• Are the office hours varied enough to fit your schedule?
• What type of treatment are you looking for (braces, Invisalign, clear braces)?

The AAO limits their membership to orthodontists who have successfully completed an accredited orthodontic residency program.

As a family practice, we are experienced in patient care for any age, from young children through senior citizens. It is never too late to transform your smile.
