Meet Your Port Orchard Orthodontist
Dr. Carlos Caballero has wanted to be an orthodontist since he was 11, when his own braces got him curious about how teeth move. That curiosity became a career, and today he brings it to every patient at our Port Orchard office.
He completed his CAGS at Boston University and his MS at the University of Minnesota, then became the first Surgical and Craniofacial Orthodontic Fellow at Case Western Reserve University. Along the way he won multiple awards and was published in the orthodontic field.
Dr. Caballero is also an Invisalign® VIP provider, which places him among the top 1% of providers worldwide. Whether you're looking for a Port Orchard orthodontist for your child or you're an adult ready to fix your own smile, you'll be treated by a specialist who focuses on nothing but orthodontics.
Why an Orthodontist in Port Orchard?
Orthodontist vs. Dentist
Every orthodontist is a dentist first, but not every dentist is an orthodontist. After dental school, Dr. Caballero completed two to three more years of specialty training focused entirely on how teeth and jaws move. Planning and carrying out orthodontic treatment is all he does, every day.
Why does it matter if you see a Port Orchard orthodontist?
General dentists receive some orthodontic training, but their focus is cleanings, fillings, crowns and other everyday dental care. An orthodontist has the extra training to handle complex bite and alignment problems. Seeing a specialist can mean:
- More treatment options to choose from, including braces and Invisalign.
- More efficient treatment and visits, because orthodontics is the office's only focus.
- Confidence in your results, especially if you have a severe bite problem.
- A doctor who has treated many cases that share your concerns.
- Shorter waits, since a family dentist's day is often filled with longer appointments and emergencies.
Convenience shouldn't hold you back either. Most patients only stop by every six to eight weeks for adjustments. And if cost is a concern, our affordable payment options make treatment easier to fit into your budget.
