What Can an Orthodontist Do?

If you are searching for an orthodontist, it helps to know what kind of services he or she will do. Some straighten teeth as their main focus and others now are every interested in holistic care and look at your airways as well. Your mouth is also a part of your airway and can effect your breathing.

Orthodontists will help with crooked teeth and can also help patients with other issues. These issues include underbites, overbites, crossbites, overcrowding of teeth, spaces between teeth, and jaw issues. Crooked teeth can be harder to keep clean and can be at risk for early loss due to tooth decay and periodontal disease. The benefit of orthodontic treatment is a healthy mouth, teeth that are more likely to last, and a more pleasing appearance for more confidence.

Some people say that an orthodontist is a dentist who only does orthodontic work and not general dentistry anymore. The New Zealand Dental Council does not believe that a dentist should be called an orthodontist as they are concerned it will cause confusion. So I am a dentist that does orthodontics. Not all dentists can be considered orthodontists. It requires a lot of extra training to learn the skills of orthodontic work. There are also registered specialist orthodontist who are dentists who studied further at a university and then registered with a statutory authority to be recognised as a specialist orthodontist.
So can you say that Dr Vernon Kruger is an orthodontist in Cambridge, New Zealand? According to New Zealand regulations it would be wrong for you to say that Dr Kruger is an orthodontist in Cambridge at True Alignment Orthodontics. Dr Kruger has dedicated his life to providing quality orthodontic care just like a specialist orthodontist does.
