If you saw the movie Austin Powers, and thought that the International Man of Mystery had a great smile, then read no further... Anybody would be hard-pressed to find a more unsightly set of chompers. But even a grin as egregious as Powers' could be rehabilitated with the expertise of an orthodontist.

 

Orthodontists are dentists first but they are more than just ordinary dentists. Orthodontists are specialized dentists who are concerned with correcting and preventing irregularities of the teeth to bring about proper occlusion. Thus, transforming crooked, mangled looking teeth into attractive, straight smiles the whole world can appreciate.

 

An orthodontist is a dentist who has received two to three years of additional training in the specialty of orthodontics. In addition to training in dentistry, orthodontists are trained to manage tooth movement (orthodontics) as well as how to guide the facial development of children (dentofacial orthopedics). Of all dentists, only about 6% are orthodontists.
