Visit a real specialist?

Bachmann Orthodontics

Did you consult a specialist orthodontist or a dentist with a special interest in orthodontics?
What is the difference?

Did you consult a specialist orthodontist or a dentist with a special interest in orthodontics?
What is the difference?
First of all, both are qualified dentists and have to work in their profession for a minimum of 3 years.
.
An orthodontist is a dentist who undertakes an additional 2 to 3 years of university fulltime training and studies in Orthodontics. Only an orthodontist has the post-graduate training to practice orthodontics. Some dentists have an extra interest in orthodontics and may feel they are able to diagnose straight forward orthodontic problems.
.
Orthodontists are focused and specialised in straightening teeth, making them bite together correctly along with treating skeletal irregularities.
.
The New Zealand Association of Orthodontists (NZAO) is a professional organisation dedicated to ensuring you receive high-quality specialist orthodontic care. Members of the NZAO must have a recognised post-graduate qualification in orthodontics and are required to undergo regular professional development to maintain standards.
Some dentists also provide orthodontic treatment for adults and children. They provide non-specialist orthodontic treatment and treat patients without knowledge of the full range of possible treatment options.
Only an orthodontist can offer a specialist diagnosis and see the full picture of treatment options.
.
Many cases will require specialist treatment. Your dentist may advise you if the treatment required is outside their expertise; however, if you are not sure do not hesitate to seek a second opinion. You don’t need a referral from your dentist or dental therapist to make an appointment with a specialist orthodontist.

K Rd Chronicles, an eight part video series. focuses on homelessness in New Zealand's biggest city.

There’s plenty of desperation in the stories shared but there’s also, above all, a sense of tolerance and humanity. The series is hosted by a transgender journalist called Six, who was homeless for six years. We take to the streets of inner city Auckland and meet the people from Six’s world.

It´s the driver and his team behind.
The cars /tools are nearly the same. What makes the real difference is the knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion of the driver for always giving and achieving the best results.
There is a similarity to orthodontics. The tools, you can choose from, are nearly the same: Like speed braces, invisible ceramic braces, gold, silver or metal ones, or Invisalign aligners.
These are only tools for different kind of treatments. Most important is who drives the therapy to reach the best results for your case and of course, the professional team behind. You can have the best car in the world if you are not able to drive it, you will not win the race.
