Angle Orthodontist
An Angle Orthodontist is a specialist in orthodontics, focusing on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. This term is named after Edward Angle, a pioneer in orthodontics who developed classification systems for malocclusions, or misalignments of teeth. Angle orthodontists use braces, aligners, and other devices to correct these issues, improving both function and aesthetics.
These professionals often work closely with dentists and other specialists to create comprehensive treatment plans. Their goal is to enhance oral health and achieve a balanced smile, contributing to overall well-being. Angle orthodontists play a crucial role in helping patients of all ages achieve optimal dental alignment.
