All About Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry. In order to
become an orthodontist, a dentist must complete a minimum of two years of
advanced training before a certificate of orthodontics is awarded.
Orthodontics is the oldest specialty in dentistry. Recent advancements have
made having braces easier and more comfortable than ever. New "space
age" wires are available that make it possible to go 6-8 weeks between
appointments. These wires help move the teeth quickly and
efficiently. While the average full treatment still takes two years, a
longer time between visits means fewer total visits to the office. This
makes having braces more convenient than ever.
