MEET YOUR STONY BROOK ORTHODONTIST
Andrew Everett, DDS
“Orthodontics is a rewarding combination of art and science that allows me to use my head, work with my hands, and interact with patients of all ages and backgrounds.
I‘m passionate about creating a smile that allows your personality to shine. I get excited when I see children and adults that are truly self-conscious and uncomfortable with their smiles because I know that we can dramatically boost their self-esteem and confidence!”
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
I attended dental school at Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine, earning my Doctorate in Dental Surgery.
After completing my general practice residency at Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, NY, I continued to my three-year orthodontic residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx.
During my time there, I served as chief resident and won the Herzberg Award, given to the top-performing resident.
Why Choose an Orthodontist Over a Dentist for Teeth Straightening?
While dentists and orthodontists both contribute significantly to your oral health, there are key differences in their areas of expertise. Dentists focus on a wide range of oral health issues, including hygiene, tooth decay, and gum disease. Orthodontists, however, specialize in aligning teeth and jaws to improve not only the appearance of your smile but also its functionality.
Orthodontists receive additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing solely on orthodontic care. This training equips them with the knowledge and skills to correct misalignments using braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic appliances. By choosing an orthodontist for your teeth straightening needs, you benefit from specialized care that is tailored to achieve the best possible outcome for your smile and oral health.

- Improved oral hygiene and a lower risk of tooth decay and gum disease, thanks to easier cleaning around properly aligned teeth.
