"What is an orthodontist?" |
|
An orthodontist
is a dentist who has undergone training to diagnose,
prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities in patients.
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 Columbia Premier Dental Care can help you with dental braces, call us at 803 781-7901, we will be happy to talk with you. |
