Orthodontist or Dentist?
What is the difference between an Orthodontist and a Dentist?
‘All Orthodontists have been Dentists but not all Dentists are Orthodontists’ An orthodontist is a specialist who has undertaken additional education – in fact, an additional three years of university, training in straightening teeth and choosing the best treatment option for you or your child.
A general dentist receives broad training across all fields of dentistry and is quite often the first to recognise that you may require an orthodontic consultation.
By working together, an orthodontist-dentist partnership can achieve the best results for you or your child.
Dr Rudi Linker is a registered Specialist Orthodontist with over 30 years of experience and continues his enthusiasm with the technology now available in the orthodontic arena that can achieve a beautiful smile.
