subject: How Modern Technology Has Improved Orthodontics [print this page] An orthodontist is a special kind of dentist who focuses on correcting bad bites or malocclusions, or realigning unsightly crooked and crowding teeth. Orthodontics goes beyond general dentistry in the sense that a dentist can only be considered an orthodontist after acquiring a doctors degree in dental surgery or dental medicine.
Orthodontists can be found in many hospitals and in private clinics. They provide dental and orthodontic services to patients young and old, and are considered to be the experts in corrective dental procedures. All over the world, orthodontists provide dental health care services to their patients.
One city that seems to have set its sights on better dental health care is Calgary, located in the province of Alberta Canada. Often referred to as the Nashville of the North, Calgary is a modern city that retains much of its traditional culture of hotel saloons, western bars, night clubs, football and hockey.
Calgary is also home a number of experienced and highly trained orthodontists. Orthodontics is a field of study that is slowly gaining attention in many medical universities. Among the many orthodontists Calgary holds in its line up of medical professionals, many have begun using the latest in dental technology.
Generally, in diagnosis and treatment planning, the orthodontist must first recognize the various characteristics of a malocclusion or dental-facial deformity. They can then define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the individual. Only after extensive diagnosis and coordination with the patient can the orthodontist present the treatment strategy in such a way that the patient fully understands the ramifications of his or her decision. Thanks to modern dental technology, the fleet of orthodontists Calgary employs can better diagnose and assist their patients.
It is natural for the residents of the city to find the best orthodontist Calgary can provide. Aside from years of experience in their profession, the use of modern equipment can make the next visit to the orthodontist easier and more convenient for any patient. Crooked, crowding teeth will soon be a thing of the past.
