What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?
• An orthodontist is a general dentist that has had at least 2 more years of full time training in orthodontics resulting in a nationally accepted specialty certificate. The orthodontist then limits his practice to straightening teeth and dentofacial orthopedics. Many orthodontists including Drs. Grob and Donovan continue past the specialty certificate to complete and publish an original research project resulting in a Masters Degree. Additionally, some like Drs. Grob and Donovan become specialty board certified.
