Why Should Orthodontic Treatment Always Be Performed by a Specialist?
Contrary to popular belief, orthodontic treatment is not just about straightening crooked teeth. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Emre Cesur details why this complex process, in which teeth, jaws, and facial aesthetics are evaluated as a whole, requires expertise.
Who is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist undergoes a rigorous 4-5 year specialization training following 5 years of basic dental education. During this process;
- The biology of tooth movement,
- Jaw relationships and growth-development mechanisms,
- Specializes in advanced topics such as orthodontic biomechanics.
Why is Specialization So Critical?
While general dentists can perform simple orthodontic procedures, a comprehensive and ideal treatment process requires much more. The success of the treatment depends on making the correct diagnosis, creating a flawless treatment plan, and expertly managing biomechanical and biological problems and complications that may be encountered throughout the process.
