EXPERT ORTHODONTIST IN ROUND ROCK, TX
Meet Dr. Seth Briggs
"I grew up in Johnstown, a small town in northern Colorado. I attended college at New Mexico State University, where I studied microbiology and was a four-year track and field student-athlete.
After undergrad, I married my sweetheart Allyson, and we began our life adventure together. I next attended Creighton University School of Dentistry.
While at Creighton, I was elected class president and served on numerous student advisory boards. Also while at Creighton, I was gifted braces treatment by an Omaha orthodontist who quickly became my friend and mentor.
Being in his office for braces adjustment and watching my own smile transform, I could see firsthand how a smile could be changed and what a blast working with children and teens could be. I decided then that orthodontics was the path I wanted to follow.
After dental school, I was commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force, completed a residency in advanced clinical dentistry, and was awarded Officer of the Year while serving in California."
Why Choose an Orthodontist in Round Rock, TX?
Orthodontists and dentists both play crucial roles in maintaining oral health, but their areas of expertise differ significantly. Orthodontists specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, such as misaligned teeth and jaws. They undergo additional years of education focused specifically on tooth and jaw alignment, equipping them with the expertise to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. In contrast, dentists provide general oral healthcare, including cleanings, fillings, and preventive treatments.
Seeing an orthodontist for teeth straightening procedures ensures that you receive expert care aimed at achieving optimal results. Orthodontists use advanced techniques and specialized equipment designed for moving teeth and aligning jaws. Treatments such as braces and clear aligners are essential tools in an orthodontist's arsenal for correcting misaligned teeth and bite problems. While dentists are essential for maintaining overall oral health and addressing immediate dental needs, orthodontists are the specialists to see when it comes to achieving a well-aligned, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
The Advantages of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits that extend beyond achieving a straighter smile. Here’s how orthodontic care can enhance various aspects of life for patients of all ages:
