1. Qualifications
Only a certified orthodontist can help you achieve a head-turning smile. Orthodontists are dental specialists, so they go through additional years of dental schooling to be certified in orthodontics.
Orthodontic experts need a 4-year undergraduate degree, 4 years of dental school, and an additional 2-3 year master’s program in orthodontics. Once they’re trained, they can become a board certified orthodontist by passing an exam to be a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
Not every orthodontist has the same level of education and experience. Dr. Black has over 30 years of experience, more than any other orthodontist in the Asheville area. When you trust us with your smile, you’re going to get the best out of your orthodontic investment.
