Your questions answered – Orthodontists

 

What qualifications do orthodontists have?

Orthodontists are very highly trained. A dentist has to graduate from university with first class honours, then practise as a dentist for at least two years before being able to return to university to do a three-year master’s degree in orthodontics.

How do I choose a good orthodontist?

Choose an orthodontist who belongs to the Australian Society of Orthodontists, which ensures his/her qualifications have been checked. Ethos orthodontists are all members. Also choose someone with the enthusiasm to keep learning about changing technologies and new research so you know you are being offered the latest and best treatments. Ethos orthodontists all regularly update their knowledge through attending international conferences and through making the most of special training opportunities in products such as Invisalign.

Tip of the month

If your gums bleed or become sore after flossing, do not panic. If you have not been flossing regularly then the gums will be inflamed and will bleed more easily. If the bleeding persists - see your dentist.
