Why Choose a Specialist Orthodontist in Wakefield?
If you are considering teeth straightening treatment, choosing the right clinician is one of the most important decisions you can make. While many dentists can provide certain orthodontic treatments, a specialist orthodontist has completed additional years of advanced training focused specifically on moving teeth, correcting bites, and managing jaw development.
At Advance Dental Care, we are proud to offer specialist-led orthodontic treatment with Dr Majid Salas, helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles with personalised care.
What Is a Specialist Orthodontist?
Orthodontics is a recognised sub-speciality of dentistry. All dentists receive basic orthodontic training during their education, however specialist orthodontists undertake further full-time postgraduate training and examinations to develop advanced knowledge and skills.
This additional level of education allows them to diagnose, plan, and manage both straightforward and more complex orthodontic cases.
More Than Straight Teeth
Many people associate orthodontics simply with straighter teeth, but successful treatment is about far more than appearance alone.
A specialist orthodontist is trained to consider:
- Tooth position
- Bite alignment
- Jaw function
- Facial balance
- Long-term stability
- Smile aesthetics
This means treatment is designed not only to improve how your smile looks, but also how your teeth function and feel.
Advanced Understanding of Tooth Movement
Specialist orthodontists have in-depth knowledge of the mechanics of tooth movement. They understand how teeth, gums, bone, and facial structures respond to carefully controlled forces during treatment.
By applying the right forces at the right stage, they aim to move teeth safely, efficiently, and predictably while supporting long-term results.
Experience With Simple and Complex Cases
While some orthodontic concerns are relatively straightforward, others can involve crowding, bite problems, spacing, impacted teeth, or jaw discrepancies.
A specialist orthodontist is trained to assess and manage a wide range of cases, helping patients receive the most suitable treatment for their individual needs.
At Advance Dental Care, Dr Majid Salas has completed over 2000 orthodontic cases, giving patients reassurance of extensive experience across a variety of treatment needs.
Why Experience Matters
When choosing who carries out your orthodontic care, it is worth asking:
- How much experience do they have?
- Can they manage treatment if challenges arise?
- Will they consider function as well as appearance?
- Can they recommend the most suitable treatment options?
These factors can make a significant difference to both the treatment journey and the final result.
A Wide Range of Treatment Options
Specialist orthodontists are able to provide a wide range of treatment options tailored to individual patient needs. This may include fixed braces, discreet brace systems, clear aligner treatment, retainers, and solutions for more complex orthodontic concerns.
