Smile Specialists - Orthodontists

Orthodontists are qualified dentists, who after graduating from dental school, go on to additional full-time education in an accredited orthodontic residency program supervised by orthodontists. That training lasts 3 years and confers a Master of Science degree. By learning about tooth movement and guidance of facial development, orthodontists are the uniquely trained experts in dentistry to straighten teeth and align jaws. 

Selecting an orthodontist who is a member of the AAO and CAO is your assurance that you have chosen an orthodotic specialist: the dental specialist with at least two years of post-doctoral, advanced specialty training in orthodontics in a program accredited by the American Dental Association. Specialty education includes the study of subjects in biomedical, behavioural and basic sciences; oral biology, and biomechanics.
