Orthodontics Show
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of jaw, face and bite irregularities (malocclusions*). Orthodontic treatment is provided by an oral health care provider known as an Orthodontist, who has typically completed two to three years of additional training beyond dental school. Recent years have brought about many changes within the dental industry, specifically with regards to orthodontic treatment and care. Now more than ever patients are experiencing fewer incidences of cavities and missing teeth due to the heightened awareness of fluoride use and preventative dentistry. This increasing awareness on the health and look of a patient’s smile has fueled the desire for many to seek out orthodontia not only as a medical necessity, but for cosmetic reasons as well. Whether it’s traditional braces or custom made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you have the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve been waiting for! Give us a call today and schedule your orthodontic consultation! *Malocclusion is the technical term for teeth that don’t fit together correctly. Malocclusions not only affect the teeth, but also the appearance of the face. Most malocclusions are inherited; however some are due to acquired habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting. The spacing left from an adult tooth being extracted or an early loss of a baby tooth can also contribute to a malocclusion. Related Procedures Back It is always a good experience coming to the office. I actually like to have a cleaning - I look forward to it. Dr. Ziotis is excellent. We went through 4 orthodontists total. She is the best. M Mary I It is always a joy to see Ben and his staff as they provide the professional and curtious service I need. Looking forward to my next visit! J Jon W Dr Z was great: she was friendly, built rapport quickly and took the time to explain everything and answer all our questions. We felt we could trust her. We did have to wait 30-40 minutes beyond the time scheduled for our appointment to see her (some of which involved filling out the usual paperwork, which itself seemed a bit odd given the affiliation between her office and our regular dental practice). It seemed like she was having to juggle a lot of patients: our consultation took place in an exam room where the door remained open throughout, other staff members came in to ask questions of her or to fetch supplies in the drawers, and she excused herself twice in the middle of our consultation to spend time with other patients. It seems like she needs more support (like another dentist) R Riley E Lovely, professional staff. The doctors are very caring and knowledgeable. Proof that science based professionals can be wonderfully human as well. R Riley E Lovely, professional staff. The doctors are very caring and knowledgeable.

Very nice and pleasent space and staff. A Aaron N Your office manager Jessica is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was actually considering switching dentist as I thought the previous lady that worked the desk was pushy, rude and unhelpful. I have continued with this practice because of Jessica. She is so pleasant and on top of things and ensures that my kids are well looked after. T Tensile B by Dentrix Patient Survey
Dentistry is the branch of medicine that is involved in the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases and conditions of the oral cavity. Generally a dental degree prepares you to perform most of the dental treatments. However, often when treatments are too complex, a dental specialist is preferred since they have much more experience and training in one specific dental field. There are currently nine dental specialities recognized by American Dental Association: 1. DENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH is the science and art of preventing and controlling dental diseases and promoting dental health through organized community efforts. It is that form of dental practice which serves the community as a patient rather than the individual. It is concerned with the dental health education of the public, with applied dental research, and with the administration of group dental care programs as well as the prevention and control of dental diseases on a community basis. (ADA, Adopted May 1976) Public health dentistry is practiced generally through governmentally sponsored programs, which are for the most part directed toward public-school children in the belief that their education in oral hygiene is the best way to reach the general public. On a larger scale, public health dentistry has been concerned with the improvement of oral health in large populations such as treatment of drinking water with fluoride.  2. ORAL and MAXILLOFACIAL RADIOLOGY is the specialty of dentistry and discipline of radiology concerned with the production and interpretation of images and data produced by all modalities of radiant energy that are used for the diagnosis and management of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral and maxillofacial region. (ADA, Adopted April 2001) Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose or treat diseases. Interventional radiology is the performance of (usually minimally invasive) medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies. 3. ENDODONTICS is the branch of dentistry which is concerned with the morphology, physiology and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues. Its study and practice encompass the basic and clinical sciences including biology of the normal pulp, the aetiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the pulp and associated periradicular conditions. (ADA, Adopted December 1983) Endodontists perform a variety of procedures including endodontic therapy (commonly known as “root canal therapy”), endodontic retreatment, surgery, treating cracked teeth, and treating dental trauma. Root canal therapy is one of the most common procedures. If the dental pulp (containing nerves, arterioles, venules, lymphatic tissue, and fibrous tissue) becomes diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth. 4. ORAL PATHOLOGY is the specialty of dentistry and discipline of pathology that deals with the nature, identification, and management of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions. It is a science that investigates the causes, processes, and effects of these diseases. The practice of oral pathology includes research and diagnosis of diseases using clinical, radiographic, microscopic, biochemical, or other examinations. (ADA, Adopted May 1991) Dental pathology can also refer to the predicted or actual progression of particular oral diseases such as cancer. As a field of general inquiry and research, pathology addresses four components of disease: 5. ORAL and MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY is the specialty of dentistry which includes the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. (ADA, Adopted October 1990) Depending upon the jurisdiction, surgeons may require training in dentistry, surgery, and general medicine; training and qualification in medicine may be undertaken optionally even if not required. Treatments may include: 6. ORTHODONTICS and DENTOFACIAL ORTHOPEDICS is the dental specialty that includes the diagnosis, prevention, interception, and correction of malocclusion, as well as neuromuscular and skeletal abnormalities of the developing or mature orofacial structures. (ADA, Adopted April 2003) Orthodontists are concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity and/or disproportionate jaw relationships. Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth. For comprehensive orthodontic treatment, metal wires are inserted into orthodontic brackets (braces), which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into the desired positions. 7. PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY (formerly Pedodontics) an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children through adolescence, including those with special health care needs. (ADA, Adopted 1995) Pediatric dentists promote the dental health of children as well as serve as educational resources for parents. It is recommended that a dental visit should occur within six months after the presence of the first tooth or by a child’s first birthday. 8. PERIODONTICS is that specialty of dentistry which encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth or their substitutes and the maintenance of the health, function and esthetics of these structures and tissues. (ADA, Adopted December 1992) The supporting tissues are known as the periodontium, which includes the gingiva (gums), alveolar bone, cementum, and the periodontal ligament. Periodontology treats periodontal disease and also involves the placement and maintenance of dental implants, including the treatment ofperi-implantitis which is inflammatory bone loss around dental implants. The etiology of peri-implantitis is thought to be very similar to periodontal disease. 9. PROSTODONTICS is the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. (ADA, Adopted April 2003) Prosthodontist is a dentist who: Category : American Dental Association, dental, DENTAL POST, endodontics, orthodontics, pathology, pediatric, periodontics, prosthodontics, public health, radiology, specialization, surgery Post navigationWhich dental specialty involves the diagnosis treatment and prevention?Periodontist
