As a general dentist, you can carry out most types of dental treatment. In the basic education at dental schools, only a small part of education in orthodontics is included. Some dentists market themselves as specialists in a certain treatment technique (for example Invisalign), but this should not be confused with being a specialist dentist. A specialist dentist in Orthodontics has, in addition to a dental degree, also undergone specialist training with at least three years of additional training in orthodontics. The education is strictly regulated and the degree is issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare. It requires a large number of treated patients with a wide variety of bite abnormalities together with a greater number of training in biomechanics, periodontology, bite physiology, maxillofacial orthopedics, research methodology and genetics. Every patient is unique. There is no single treatment technique that works for everyone. An orthodontist is used to working with a wide variety of techniques to achieve the best and most durable treatment result.
