Difference between orthodontist and dentist post

🦷 What’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist? 🦷

All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists. Out of 100 dental school graduates, only about 6 go on to become orthodontists!

✨ The Path to Becoming an Orthodontist:
1️⃣ College
2️⃣ Dental School
3️⃣ Accredited Orthodontic Residency (2–3 additional years of specialized training)

Orthodontists focus solely on diagnosing, preventing, and treating problems with tooth and jaw alignment. They are the experts in creating healthy, beautiful smiles for children, teens, and adults.

👩‍⚕️ What makes orthodontists unique?
• Only those with accredited residency training can call themselves “orthodontists”
• Specialize in moving teeth and aligning jaws
• Use appliances like braces, clear aligners, and retainers
• Help guide jaw growth and improve bite function
• Improve overall oral health, speech, and confidence

So while your dentist helps keep your teeth clean and healthy, your orthodontist helps ensure they fit together perfectly for a confident smile! 😁

💙 Trust your smile to a specialist!

🦷 October is Orthodontic Awareness Month! 🦷

Did you know the American Association of Orthodontist recommends a check-up no later than age 7? Even if your child’s teeth look straight, there could be underlying issues only an orthodontist can detect.

✨ Early signs to watch for in growing children:
• Crossbite (front or back teeth not lining up)
• Crowding or spacing
• Open bite or underbite
• Protruding front teeth
• Deep bite
• Oral habits like thumb sucking

👀 Other things to look out for: early/late loss of baby teeth, speech difficulties, difficulty chewing, mouth breathing, or jaws that shift/make sounds.

💡 Why early check-ups matter:
• Guide jaw growth and permanent tooth placement
• Reduce risk of injury to protruded teeth
• Correct harmful habits
• Improve overall appearance and balance of the smile
• Make future treatment simpler, shorter, and more effective

It’s never too late for a check-up, but catching problems early gives your child the best chance at a healthy, confident smile for life! 😁💙

📅 Call us today to schedule your child’s orthodontic evaluation!

Such a special and exciting moment! Harrison started his Invisalign Expander journey! Loved capturing his genuine reaction to his new appliance!
If you are interested in Invisalign or braces you can contact us here for a free consult with Dr. Becht! 502-245-2175 or email us info@bechtortho.com
A fun fact about this kind of expander is you can take this in and out (as shown in this video) for eating and to brush your teeth! No more having to clean around an appliance! This new type of expander that we now offer has been a game changer and we can’t wait for more of our patients to get to experience this!
