"Dr. Carroccia, what is orthodontics?" |
|
Orthodontics, also known as malocclusion or "bad bite," is described
by the American Association of Orthodontics as the branch of dentistry
that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental
and facial irregularities. |

"Who is an orthodontist?" |
|
An orthodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialized training
to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities in
patients. We are fortunate to have several gifted ones in our area. Within the U.S., orthodontists are required to complete a two- to three-year advanced residency program in orthodontics following the completion of their four-year graduate dental program. Each of these programs must be accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. For more information about how we at St Bethlehem Dental Care can help you with dental braces questions and care, call us at (931) 648-3233, we will be happy to talk with you. |
