Orthodontist vs. Dentist
Orthodontists and dentists both work on oral health, but their specialties differ. Dentists handle general dental care, such as cleanings and fillings. Orthodontists, like Dr. Ragan, specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment using braces, clear aligners, and other appliances. This specialized training ensures that orthodontists can provide the most effective treatments for straightening teeth and correcting bites.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits:
Physical Benefits: Properly aligned teeth improve oral health by reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. They also enhance chewing efficiency and speech clarity.
Mental Benefits: A straight smile boosts self-confidence and self-esteem, making you feel better about your appearance.
Social Benefits: An attractive smile can improve social interactions and make a positive impression on others.
Professional Benefits: A confident smile can enhance professional opportunities by making you appear more approachable and self-assured.
