What’s so special about an orthodontist? Dr. Zammitti has the answer!

"Dentists, Orthodontists, they're all the same right?" We hear our patients asking this question as they wonder about the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist. Before becoming an orthodontist Dr. Zammitti started out in dental school and earned a DDS (dental degree), just like your dentist. After dental school however, Dr. Zammitti decided he wanted to learn more about orthodontics, which is one of nine specialties within the dental field. So he stayed in school for a few more years and became an expert in orthodontics, which focuses on tooth and jaw alignment and bite problems like overbites and under bites.

Isn't it nice to know there's a dental expert here to help you through any type of treatment your teeth, jaw and gums might need? Dr. Zammitti is also a member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, Southern Association of Orthodontists and the North Carolina Dental Society.
