A dentist who has chosen to specialize in orthodontics is called an orthodontist. But not all dentists who offer orthodontic treatment are orthodontists. An orthodontist had to have completed 4 years of dental school plus an extra 2 to 3 years in residency program accredited by the ADA of advanced education in orthodontics. Most general dentists can offer orthodontics but have not taken the extra training in order to specialize. At the Atlanta Dental Group PC we have an orthodontics dentist to help you with your treatment needs.
Dr. Padolsky is am Atlanta general dentist who has worked with orthodontics for over twenty years and if you are looking for a orthodontics dentist, he can help. While Dr. Padolsky is not a orthodontist he has taken a significant amount of continuing education courses in order to provide his patients with the best care that he can offer. In September 2000, Dr. Padolsky earned a Fellowship in the American Orthodontic Society (AOS). He was also given an achievement award by the AOS for his extensive participation in continuing education related to orthodontics.
As an orthodontics dentist Dr. Padolsky offers orthodontic treatment for adults and children. He offers treatment with traditional metal braces and orthodontic headgear as well as Invisalign.
