choose orthodontistAn orthodontist is to teeth what a cardiologist is to the heart. Orthodontists have in-depth experience in orthodontic care and are dedicated to helping your teeth and jaws work in union so that you can speak, bite and chew comfortably and effectively. Together with your general dentist, your orthodontist uses his or her knowledge and skills to help you get the best results possible.

The title of orthodontist is reserved for only those specialists who have undergone two or more years of additional post-doctoral education from an accredited university. This additional education focuses on correcting and aligning crooked teeth, addressing jaw disorders, and adjusting occlusion (the way that the teeth fit together).

Only 6% of all general dentists pursue the rigorous additional training required to become an orthodontist. In addition to having completed this training, Dr. Bill Parks and Dr. Meredith Parks are proud members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

Whether it is for yourself or your child, you are making a significant investment in braces, and you will want to achieve the best outcome possible. Our orthodontists have the experience and skills needed to treat even the most complex cases.

By choosing a specialist, you can ensure that your experience is comfortable and successful, and you will walk away with a smile that you can enjoy for a lifetime.
