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

"What is an orthodontist?" |
|
An orthodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialized 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 our orthodontist at Family Dental Group can help you with dental braces, call us at (203) DEN-TIST, we will be happy to talk with you. |
