Why You Should See an Orthodontist Instead of a General Dentist for Orthodontic Treatment

August 22, 2024

When it comes to achieving a healthy, beautiful smile, seeking the expertise of a specialist is paramount. At our orthodontic practice serving Highland Park and Buffalo Grove, IL, as well as the surrounding suburbs of Deerfield, IL, Highwood, IL, Northbrook, IL, Arlington Heights, IL, Riverwoods, IL, and Lake Forest, IL, Dr. Ben and Dr. Kristina are dedicated to providing superior orthodontic care tailored to your unique smile. Here's why choosing an orthodontist over a general dentist for orthodontic treatment is preferred:


1. Specialized Training and Expertise


Dr. Ben and Dr. Kristina have undergone additional years of specialized training beyond dental school to become experts in orthodontics. Their comprehensive education and training uniquely qualify them to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities effectively. By choosing an orthodontist, you can trust that you're receiving care from a highly trained specialist with expertise in orthodontic treatment that has undergone thousands of hours of additional training, versus taking a few weekend courses and learning on the go.


2. Focus on Orthodontics


Orthodontists like Dr. Ben and Dr. Kristina dedicate their entire practice to orthodontics, allowing them to stay abreast of the latest advancements and techniques in the field. Unlike general dentists who offer a wide range of dental services, orthodontists focus exclusively on orthodontic care, ensuring that they are well-equipped to address a variety of orthodontic issues with precision and expertise. Additionally, they have access to specialty literature which provides them with the latest information that they can utilize to provide superior outcomes.


3. Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Planning


Dr. Ben and Dr. Kristina conduct thorough evaluations to assess the alignment of your teeth, jaw relationships, and overall facial aesthetics. Using advanced diagnostic tools and imaging techniques, they develop customized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs and goals. Their personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective and appropriate orthodontic care for your smile.


4. Long-Term Monitoring and Maintenance


Orthodontic treatment often involves ongoing monitoring and adjustments to ensure the best possible outcomes. Dr. Ben and Dr. Kristina are experienced in managing the entire treatment process, from the initial consultation to post-treatment retention, to ensure that your smile remains healthy and beautiful for years to come.
