Two Board-Certified Orthodontists, Why That Matters More Than You Think

Board certification is the highest professional credential in orthodontics, and it’s voluntary. That means not every orthodontist pursues it, even those who have been practicing for decades. To become board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a doctor must document complex treated cases with exceptional outcomes, pass rigorous clinical and written examinations, and demonstrate clinical judgment that exceeds standard licensing requirements.

At Freedman & Haas, both Dr. Freedman and Dr. Haas hold this credential. That’s unusual. Most practices in Palm Beach County have one board-certified orthodontist, if any. When both doctors in a practice are board-certified specialists, it means every treatment plan, regardless of which doctor is treating you, meets the same elite clinical standard.

Both doctors achieved ABO certification in 2012, presenting over a dozen complex treated cases with exceptional outcomes to the American Board of Orthodontics examination panel in Dallas, Texas. The board has since lifted the mandatory nature of that presentation requirement, making their voluntary achievement of it a meaningful marker of their commitment to clinical excellence.

What board certification means for you

• Your treatment plan is documented and clinically defensible, not just a standard protocol applied to every case.
• You’re treated by doctors held to continuous evaluation, ABO board-certified orthodontists maintain their certification through ongoing peer review.
• You benefit from two board-certified sets of eyes, at F&H, every case is reviewed by both doctors.

The complexity ceiling is higher, board-certified specialists routinely take on cases that general dentists offering Invisalign would need to decline or refer.

Advanced Technology, and the Clinical Training to Use It Well

Technology only matters when paired with the clinical judgment to use it well. At Freedman & Haas, we’ve invested in the tools that produce the most accurate diagnoses and the most predictable outcomes, and we’ve invested equally in the training to get the most out of them.

Our diagnostic and treatment technology

• iTero digital scanning, no goopy impressions. Our iTero scanners produce a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth in minutes, which we use for Invisalign treatment planning, retainer fabrication, and progress tracking.
• 3D imaging / cone beam CT, provides a complete view of dental anatomy, bone structure, and tooth positions that standard X-rays simply can’t show. Vastly improves diagnosis for complex cases.
• Smile Arc Protection (SAP) technique, a bracket placement philosophy developed by Dr. Bhavna Shroff at Virginia Commonwealth University that places brackets to follow the natural curve of the lips, producing a smile that looks natural and beautiful, not just straight. We incorporate this technique in our bracket placement.
• In-house orthodontic lab, most practices outsource appliance fabrication. We operate our own lab, which means faster turnaround, more precision, and direct quality control over the devices going in your mouth.

Continuing education: the Dayan Invisalign Masterclass

Dr. Freedman participates in the Dayan Invisalign Masterclass Series, one of the most advanced continuing education programs focused specifically on complex Invisalign treatment. This program trains orthodontists to handle cases that other providers would refer out or attempt without adequate preparation. It reflects a commitment to staying at the leading edge of what Invisalign can actually do when applied by a specialist, not just what the basic certification covers.
