How will my dentist contribute to orthodontic treatment?

To comprehensively address orthodontic issues requires interdisciplinary care. At Minera Orthodontics, we coordinate closely with your dentist to determine your best possible treatment plan. With this alliance, your dentist and our team will be able to effectively communicate your needs. This ensures routine checkups and timely cleaning are not overlooked during treatment. By building an ongoing relationship with your dentist, we can ensure quality follow-up care, tooth replacements, corrective whitening, or replacement of restorations. Minera Orthodontics is happy to work with your current dentist in order to carefully plan your orthodontic treatment schedule.

Orthodontists & Dentists

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Ever heard someone say, “My dentist is an orthodontist”?

Some of you may have heard this before, and we would like to offer some clarity on the matter. The difference between an orthodontist and a dentist is education, plain and simple. Extensive schooling is required to achieve the official title of orthodontist. To become an orthodontist, one must first earn a doctorate in general dentistry, like a traditional dentist. Then, they must attend an ADA-approved university and complete two to three years of graduate training in the orthodontic field. A dentist may use “orthodontics” to describe their profession without referring to themselves as an orthodontist.
