Your Board-Certified Bourg Orthodontist
Dr. Catherine Schwab
“If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
I’m proud to say that I love creating beautiful smiles and have been enjoying orthodontics for over 20 years.
Why Orthodontics?
I’ve always had an eye for detail and a creative streak which makes my “job” my favorite hobby. The most fulfilling part of my work is watching the transformation of a personality as the smile is created or perfected.
Orthodontics is a very rewarding field that has allowed me to not only improve lives but to create lasting relationships with my patients. The best compliment I can receive is when former patients refer their friends and family members to our practice.
Orthodontists vs. Dentists: Why Choose an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists and dentists both play vital roles in maintaining oral health, but their specialties differ significantly. Dentists focus on general oral care, including cleanings, fillings, and preventive treatments. Orthodontists, however, specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. They undergo additional years of training to master teeth straightening techniques and complex bite issues.
Choosing an orthodontist for teeth straightening ensures you receive expert care tailored to your specific needs. Orthodontists use advanced technologies and methodologies to create customized treatment plans, ensuring optimal results. Their specialized knowledge and experience make them the best choice for achieving a healthy, beautiful smile.
Comprehensive Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits that extend beyond simply having straight teeth.
- Physically, straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth also improve bite function, reducing the risk of jaw pain and excessive wear on teeth.
- Mentally, having a great smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence. When you feel good about your smile, you're more likely to express yourself freely and engage with others. This boost in confidence can positively impact your personal, social, and professional life.
- Personally, a beautiful smile enhances your overall appearance, making you feel more attractive and youthful.
- Socially, it can improve your interactions with others, as a confident smile is often perceived as friendly and approachable.
- Professionally, a great smile can create a lasting impression, enhancing your opportunities for career advancement and success.
Investing in orthodontic treatment is an investment in your overall well-being. The physical, mental, personal, social, and professional benefits combine to improve your quality of life and give you a smile you can be proud of.
