Orthodontics TRUE or FALSE

By: Rebecca Manghane

There are several mysteries and unanswered questions about orthodontists and what they do. This article will attempt to clear any misconceptions up.

Camarillo Orthodontist's TRUE or FALSE

1. Orthodontists are suitable only for the most demanding and complex orthodontic cases.
FALSE: Orthodontists know the difference between a simple case and a complex one. And when a case is demanding, orthodontists know what to do.

2. My family dentist says he can correct my teeth.
FACT: However, an orthodontist has 2-3 years of dedicated training beyond dental school and is a specialist at adjusting teeth and insuring proper form and function. A dentist may see a small number of cases a year amongst drilling and filling. An orthodontist only practices orthodontics and treats hundreds of patients.

3. Braces are for young people.
FICTION: 1 out of 5 orthodontic patients is an adult.

4. If there was a big, overhead magnet and someone flipped a switch, people with braces would fly out of their chairs and stick to the ceiling.
FICTION: Improbable, as braces are made from non-magnetic materials.

5. Orthodontists cost more than general dentists for straightening treatment.
FACT: However, it's not similar work. The value in seeing an orthodontist for treatment is that the orthodontist is a specialist, highly experienced and understands form, function and a magnificent smile.

6. Braces are painful and take 2 years or more for the wanted result.
FICTION: After the adjustment stage, like breaking in a new pair of sneakers, braces are comfortable. Some may be worn for months, not years.

7. Signals from braces link to the Internet to download songs onto an mp3 player.
FICTION: This is not possible! Not yet anyway!

8. Braces are ugly, call attention to themselves and would be awkward in work settings.
FICTION: Today's braces can be nearly invisible, made from clear plastic, or unseen, mounted on the back (lingual) side of the teeth.

9. Orthodontists are low profile.
FACT: Some may prefer to be low profile, but orthodontists give back to the community by offering free, discounted, services to patients in need.

10. Any dentist may join the American Association of Orthodontists.
FICTION: Only orthodontists can become members of the American Association of Orthodontists.
