Smile Experts

At SMILE-FX, your smile is in the hands of board-certified orthodontists — leaders who have passed the highest standards in the profession and certified by the American Board of Orthodontist. That means extra years of training, rigorous case reviews, and results that are held to the most elite benchmarks in the industry.

The Importance of Board Certification in Orthodontics

Board certification isn’t required to practice, but it’s the gold standard for orthodontists who want to go above and beyond. SMILE-FX doctors are certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction earned by fewer than half of U.S. orthodontists. Why does it matter? Because your smile deserves treatment from an expert who’s been tested, trusted, and trained at the highest level.

See how board-certified expertise creates a smile plan that’s faster, smarter, and built entirely around you.

What is Board Certification?

Board certification is an advanced qualification earned by orthodontists who voluntarily go beyond the basic dental degree. To become certified, a doctor must complete:
  • An orthodontic residency after dental school
  • Written exams, peer-reviewed cases, and a rigorous board review
  • Ongoing recertification to ensure clinical excellence
It’s your assurance that your treatment is being planned and delivered by a proven expert, not just any dentist offering braces.

Not All Smiles Are Created to Elevate

Most providers offer treatment. SMILE-FX offers transformation.
Here’s what that difference really looks like.
