What is an orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dentist who has undergone additional specialized training in specific areas of dentistry. But what does an orthodontist do differently - and what role can they play in your dental health?

An orthodontist focuses on specific areas of dentistry. This could be orthodontics, which deals with orthodontic treatment, or it could be dental, oral or maxillofacial surgery.

Orthodontists use their expanded knowledge and experience to treat more complex dental issues that go beyond treatments typically handled by a general dentist. They have a deeper understanding of advanced treatment methods and are trained to use specialized equipment.

What training does an orthodontist have?

The education to become an orthodontist is based on the regular dental education, which lasts 5 years at university. Afterwards, there is an opportunity to specialize further. For example, an orthodontist, also known as an orthodontist, undergoes a 3-year postgraduate program.

This results in a total training period of 8 years. Such postgraduate training ensures that orthodontists gain in-depth expertise in their specific field.

What can orthodontists help with?

Orthodontists are trained to perform a range of complex and specialized dental treatments in their respective fields. We do not feel it is necessary to include this. Orthodontics (braces) work focuses on correcting malocclusions and bite problems and ensuring good bite function, which not only improves the appearance of the patient's smile, but also overall oral health.

Specialty dentists contribute significantly to dentistry by offering treatments that go beyond general dentistry and ensure that patients with special needs receive the most effective and specialized care.
