HOW TO CHOOSE AN ORTHODONTIST
Choosing an orthodontist is one of the most important healthcare decisions you'll make for yourself or your family. Not all orthodontists are the same — training, credentials, and experience vary significantly. Here's what to look for when evaluating your options.
Look for Board Certification
Board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics is the gold standard in the profession — and fewer than 30% of practicing orthodontists hold this credential. It requires passing a rigorous examination that goes well beyond standard licensing. Dr. Boroun is a board-certified diplomat of the ABO, bringing a higher level of training and accountability to every patient she treats.
Ask About Training and Experience
Ask about educational background, years of experience, and whether the orthodontist handles your specific condition. Dr. Boroun holds double Master's degrees and graduated first in her dental school class. She has treated patients across all age groups and case complexities — from early Phase I treatment for children to Invisalign and surgical orthodontics for adults.
Trust Your Instincts
Great orthodontic care starts with trust. Pay attention to how you feel in the office — is the team warm and welcoming? Does the orthodontist take time to explain your options and answer your questions? At Falls Grove Orthodontics, we believe every family deserves personalized, unhurried care.
