Ever wondered what it takes to become an orthodont

Ever wondered what it takes to become an orthodontist? 🦷✨ We love when patients get inspired during treatment and start imagining a future in orthodontics. The journey includes three important steps 📚 College 🪥 Dental school 🎓 Orthodontic residency After dental school, orthodontists complete an additional two to three years of specialized residency training. This is where they gain intensive education in safe tooth movement and guiding jaw and facial development. While dental school introduces orthodontics, residency is where the real expertise is built. Those extra years are what make orthodontists the true specialists in moving teeth and aligning jaws and it is the sole focus of their practice. Who knows Your smile journey could spark a future career 💫😁 #BracesByDrRuth #TheRealOrthodontistOfNashville #SmileNashville #FutureOrthodontist #OrthodonticJourney #BracesLife #DentalCareers #STEMCareers #InspiringSmiles #NashvilleOrthodontist #BestOfNashville2025Winner

Over the next couple of weeks you will be tempted

Over the next couple of weeks you will be tempted with all sorts of holiday treats. If you are wearing braces, we hope your celebrations do not include a surprise visit to our office with a broken bracket. Try to stay mindful of the usual foods to avoid… sticky treats, hard and crunchy snacks, and anything that can stain your teeth or clear brackets. And if you are the lucky one who gets the turkey leg, remember to cut the meat off the bone instead of biting into it. Ho Ho Ho enjoy the smart holiday foods that keep your braces safe and your smile shining. 🎄🦃✨😁🍬🥜 #BracesByDrRuth #TheRealOrthodontistOfNashville #SmileNashville #NashvilleOrthodontist #BestOfNashville2025Winner #HolidaySmiles #BracesTips #HealthyHolidayChoices

A shy nine year old on TennCare needed braces so his front tooth could finally grow in, but coverage was denied. 🦷💬 Curious why TennCare only approves braces when there is a true medical need, not for cosmetic reasons. The following article explains it all.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommen

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children get their first check up with an Orthodontist by age 7. Early evaluations help us see how permanent teeth are coming in and how the face and jaws are growing. This lets us determine if everything is developing just right or if a potential concern may be forming. Most orthodontic issues do not need treatment while baby teeth are still present. If we spot something that simply needs time, we will guide your child into a gentle wait and see phase where we check in periodically to make sure everything continues to grow beautifully. We will watch them grow and smile every step of the way. 😊✨ #BracesByDrRuth #TheRealOrthodontistOfNashville #NashvilleOrthodontist #SmileNashville #EarlyOrthodonticCare #KidsOrthodontics #HealthySmiles #BestOfNashville2025Winner

Prolonged pacifier use may affect the way a child’s mouth grows and how their teeth line up. It can even change the shape of the roof of the mouth. We recommend that little ones stop using pacifiers by age 2. And remember, the AAO suggests that children have their first orthodontic evaluation at age 7. We would be happy to take care of that for you! ✨😁🦷 #BracesByDrRuth #TheRealOrthodontistOfNashville #NashvilleOrthodontist #InvisalignNashville #KidFriendlyOrthodontist #HealthySmiles #SmileNashville #NashvilleMoms #OrthodonticsForKids #EarlyOrthoCare #AAO #DentalHealth #PacifierWeaning #StrongSmiles #bbdr
