If you’re considering Invisalign to straighten your teeth, you might be wondering if you can get it without seeing an orthodontist. While some companies offer mail-in orthodontic services, it’s important to choose a licensed orthodontist for your treatment. Keep reading to learn more from Dr. Christopher Murphy at Southern Maine Orthodontics about the benefits of getting Invisalign Treatment from an Orthodontist.
Expertise and Training
Orthodontists are highly trained professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating issues with teeth and jaws. They have completed dental school, a specialized master’s program, and a residency in orthodontics. They also participate in ongoing education to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and technologies.
In contrast, mail-in orthodontic companies may lack the same level of expertise and training. While they may use technology to create clear aligners, they may not have the knowledge to diagnose underlying issues with your bite or teeth.
