Should you see an orthodontist or a dentist for Invisalign?
A general dentist or an orthodontist may offer clear aligners such as Invisalign. The difference is training: an orthodontist completes an accredited orthodontic program after dental school, 24 to 36 more months focused on tooth movement and the bite.
Those programs are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation and include about 3,700 hours of training in how teeth and jaws move, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. The AAO describes straightening teeth and aligning the bite as complex biological processes.
Aligner trays carry out a plan, and the plan decides how each tooth moves and how your bite meets at the end. If you have crowding, spacing or a bite that does not meet evenly, that planning is what an orthodontist trains for.
Dr. Fateh Arslan is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. We offer clear aligners such as Angel Aligner or Invisalign, chosen by the orthodontist for your case, and your first consultation is free.
