Meet Dr. Nick Kim, DMD, MDS
“I’m passionate about helping patients improve and achieve a beautiful smile.”
Get to Know Your Orthodontist
Dr. Kim didn’t have the opportunity to get orthodontic treatment early on. When he started his orthodontic treatment during dental school, he needed four teeth extracted to correct his smile because it was too late to straighten his teeth without extractions.
Even after that, he was not satisfied with his smile.
When pursuing orthodontic treatment while in dental school, Dr. Kim encountered every appliance imaginable. This up close and personal experience with various treatment methods allows him to understand the pros and cons of every treatment!
Orthodontists vs. Dentists: The Crucial Difference
While both orthodontists and dentists work in the realm of oral healthcare, their specializations are distinct. Dentists primarily focus on general oral health including teeth cleaning, fillings, and basic oral care. Orthodontists, on the other hand, are specialists in diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Essentially, all orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists.
Choosing an Orthodontist for Teeth Straightening: Why It's the Best Decision
When it comes to the intricate process of teeth straightening, entrusting your smile to an orthodontist comes with an array of benefits:
Specialized Training:
Orthodontists undergo additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, specifically focusing on moving teeth and aligning jaws.
Experience:
With countless cases of braces, aligners, and other corrective treatments under their belt, orthodontists have a wealth of experience in ensuring optimal results.
Customized Treatment:
Orthodontists can provide tailored solutions, whether it's traditional braces, Invisalign, or other modern treatments, ensuring your teeth align perfectly.
The Profound Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment goes beyond the superficial allure of straight teeth. The journey towards a perfected smile holds multifaceted benefits, transforming not only one's physical appearance but also one's health, well-being, and quality of life. Here's a closer look at these profound advantages:
Reduced Risk of Oral Issues
Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. Misaligned teeth can trap food, promoting harmful bacteria growth and plaque build-up. This misalignment can also heighten gum disease susceptibility. Straightening teeth ensures thorough brushing and flossing, minimizing future dental issues.
Boosted Self-confidence
A confident smile often leads to heightened self-assuredness in daily interactions. A radiant smile not only boosts self-esteem but also impacts social and professional endeavors. Across cultures, a great smile symbolizes attractiveness and trust. Investing in one's smile paves the way for a more fulfilling life.
Improved First Impressions
First impressions are quickly formed, with smiles being a key focal point. A radiant smile suggests health, well-being, and approachability, setting a positive tone in any social situation, whether on a date or in a business setting. A captivating smile ensures a favorable initial perception.
Career Opportunities
In professional settings, a confident smile signals reliability and competence. During interviews or presentations, a great smile can leave a lasting impression, opening doors to opportunities. Those with straight smiles often appear more dedicated, showcasing their investment in personal presentation. Thus, a captivating smile can boost career prospects.
