How to Choose Between a Miami Orthodontist and General Dentist for Orthodontics

    SOUTH MIAMI, FL, August 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many general dentists are offering some type of orthodontic braces these days, but before making a decision Dr. Pedro Alquizar suggests people review the benefits of choosing a specialist.

"The best choice for a specialty service like orthodontic treatment is a specialist," says Alquizar, a Miami orthodontist.

Orthodontists have dedicated an additional two to three years of education and their entire career to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, whereas general dentists have focused on the diagnosis of dental decay, preventive dentistry and restoring, replacing and repairing teeth.

"Our sole focus is to use orthodontics to help patients' teeth and jaws work in perfect unison, giving them a comfortable and effective way to speak, bite and chew," says Dr. Phillip Kaner, a Palmetto Bay invisalign provider who has been in practice for more than 40 years.

Each patient needs a customized treatment plan and expert supervision for optimal results. Orthodontists spend all their time focused on learning and using the latest orthodontic tools, techniques and technology. Whether the best treatment option is invisible braces like Invisalign Teen or traditional braces, they have been trained to take unique needs and wishes into consideration when recommending the ideal treatment option.

"Even cases that appear simple and straightforward can be quite complicated. Only an orthodontist has the specialized knowledge and experience to identify and plan for all the variables in your mouth," says Palmeto Bay and Kendall invisalign expert.

However, being able to give patients the best dental care requires a team approach, he says. So he and his orthodontic associate Kaner consider general dentists invaluable for achieving great results. They coordinate with patients' dentists to ensure patients maintain excellent overall oral health while in braces and beyond.

"Please call our office to schedule a complimentary appointment and consultation with us to discover how we can help you get the smile you have always wanted," says Kaner who prvides Miami braces.
