Marin County, CA – When seeking an orthodontic consultation, how many clients research the credentials of their prospective orthodontist? Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics is an orthodontic office in Marin County, California with doctors who have completed their board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics. “Board certification indicates a strong dedication to clinical excellence”, says Dr. Jasmine Gorton of Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics. Only 1 in 3 orthodontists is board certified. Board certified orthodontists are subject to the requirements and standards of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).
The certification process takes a substantial amount of time and effort. In order to receive their certification from the ABO, an orthodontist is required to undergo hundreds of hours of preparation, pass written tests, and exhibit their ability to provide care adhering to the ABO’s standards of excellence. Full board certification involves a written exam, a case presentation at a clinical exam, and a peer review. Depending on the orthodontist’s commitment, the entire certification process takes at least two or three more years to prepare and complete. Only 35% of orthodontists achieve this level of certification but the knowledge and skill they acquire is invaluable to clients.
Gorton & Schmohl Orthodontics opened their Larkspur office in 2014 after establishing a long track record for outstanding service and strong commitment to clinical results at their previous office in San Rafael. Their innovative, progressive approach to orthodontics was first acknowledged in 2006 when their practice was named one of the top 100 practices in the U.S. for experience moving teeth with Invisalign https://www.invisalign.com/
They also are known for having a natural approach to treatment, aimed at keeping the permanent teeth whenever possible by gently creating more space in the mouth at a young age instead of removing permanent teeth later. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children be screened at the age of 7 years old to determine if early orthodontic treatment is needed. See the patient site of the American Association of Orthodontics under FAQs and search the term “Age 7”.
Drs. Jasmine Gorton and Bill Schmohl are proud to continue providing orthodontic care to their patients in Larkspur and the surrounding areas in Marin County and beyond. Their orthodontic office features a relaxing and family oriented atmosphere, friendly staff, and board certified orthodontists who are always up to date on the latest orthodontic techniques in the industry in order to help their clients achieve their best smiles.
