Orthodontist vs. Dentist
Why It Matters for Teeth Straightening
It’s a common question—why see an orthodontist instead of your general dentist for straightening teeth? While both professionals are essential to your oral health, orthodontists go through years of additional training focused specifically on aligning teeth and correcting jaw issues. This specialized education allows orthodontists to diagnose and treat complex bite problems, crooked teeth, and alignment concerns that general dentists are not trained to handle.
Think of it like this: a dentist keeps your teeth healthy, while an orthodontist ensures they’re in the right place. For teeth straightening, choosing an orthodontist means you’re getting expert care that’s both precise and efficient, with better long-term results.
Why Orthodontic Treatment Is About More Than Just Straight Teeth
Orthodontics isn’t just about how your smile looks—it’s about how your teeth function, how you feel, and how the world sees you. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. A properly aligned bite can also prevent jaw pain, uneven wear on teeth, and issues with speech or chewing.
But beyond physical health, the impact of a beautiful smile reaches into nearly every part of life. When you feel good about your smile, it boosts your self-esteem. You might speak up more, laugh freely, and show more confidence at work, at school, and in social settings. For teens, a confident smile can ease the stress of adolescence. For adults, it can enhance professional presence and help make a strong first impression.
Orthodontic treatment also teaches the value of patience, self-care, and long-term commitment—especially for kids and teens. And at Cox Orthodontics, we’re here to make the process smooth, rewarding, and even fun. We’ve seen firsthand how transforming a smile can transform a life, and we’re honored to be part of that journey for our Franklin community.
