Searching for The Best Orthodontics Near Me

Searching for the best orthodontics near you means knowing what makes for a good orthodontist’s practice, and what you need from them. Perhaps you need a practitioner with particular experience in a certain orthodontic treatment. Perhaps you need an orthodontist who is able to accept your dental insurance or put together a payment plan with monthly payments your budget can allow. Embrace Orthodontics is an Ann Arbor, MI, orthodontist’s practice that specializes in Invisalign and traditional braces. Our orthodontist is Doctor Yina Li, a board-certified orthodontist and diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, who completed her orthodontic residency training at the University of North Carolina, one of the world's best programs. Dr. Li obtained her DMD degree and graduated first in her class from the University of Connecticut.

What Is An Orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dental specialist that works to remedy dental abnormalities and issues with facial appearance, chiefly concerning the teeth, gums, and jaw. The difference between a dentist and an orthodontist is that while both are doctors that went through dental school and have a degree in dentistry, an orthodontist specializes, taking another three years of school to expand their knowledge. Only around 6% of dentists go on to become orthodontists.

Monitoring regular facial and dental development in children, such as  jawline and bite, tooth impaction or ectopic tooth eruption etc.

Diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions (misaligned teeth and jaws), moving teeth into a more aligned position to create a healthier bite and more beautiful smile.

Creating treatment plans and installing dental appliances such as braces, palatal expanders, invisalign etc.

The work that an orthodontist provides not only helps create beautiful smiles, but contributes to good oral health, preventing tooth decay and gum disease, amongst other things.

 

Orthodontic Treatment Financing

Unfortunately, orthodontic treatments do not come cheap. The cost of braces is at minimum several thousand dollars, and even retainers typically cost at least a couple of hundred dollars a piece. However, you don’t necessarily need to take out a personal loan or open a new credit card with a punitive interest rate. Embrace Orthodontics has flexible financing options for our treatments. We believe everyone should be able to have affordable treatment options.
