Orthodontist Business Cards for Braces and Invisalign Specialists

Orthodontists are the dental specialists — two to three years of specialty training beyond dental school — who diagnose and treat malocclusions (bite problems and misaligned teeth) using braces, clear aligners, palate expanders, retainers, and other orthopedic appliances. Unlike general dentists who may offer Invisalign as an added service, orthodontists focus exclusively on tooth and jaw alignment, and that specialty depth justifies premium fees and specialist referral patterns.

What Orthodontist Cards Include

• DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) — the dental degree
