Board-Certified Phoenixville Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Emily Funk
Dr. Emily Funk was born and raised in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. She attended Villanova University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology, graduated summa cum laude, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.
After college, she pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York City. Dr. Funk returned to Pennsylvania when she was accepted into the prestigious Orthodontics Residency program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
She’s happy to return to Chester County with her husband and high school sweetheart, Tyler, daughter Madison, and their dog Lola.
Why Choose an Orthodontist for Teeth Straightening?
While both orthodontists and general dentists work to improve patients' oral health, an orthodontist brings specialized training and expertise specifically focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontists like Dr. Emily Funk complete additional years of rigorous training in the science of orthodontics after dental school, allowing them to treat complex alignment issues effectively.
Unlike general dentists, orthodontists are specially equipped to offer advanced teeth-straightening solutions like braces and Invisalign, addressing everything from mild spacing concerns to severe bite misalignments. This expertise means patients receive tailored treatment plans designed to achieve optimal, long-term results. Whether choosing traditional braces for their durability and effectiveness or Invisalign for a discreet, flexible approach, an orthodontist ensures each patient’s treatment is safe, effective, and personalized to their unique needs, delivering a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts.
The Advantages of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous advantages beyond aesthetics, contributing to improved oral health, function, and confidence. Here are some compelling benefits of orthodontic care:
Enhanced Oral Health
Straightened teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Improved Bite Alignment
Correct alignment promotes better chewing, speaking, and jaw comfort.
Prevention of Dental Issues
Early intervention can prevent more severe misalignment problems later in life.
Boosted Self-Confidence
A beautifully aligned smile can significantly enhance self-esteem at any age.
Reduced Wear and Tear
Properly aligned teeth reduce uneven wear, preserving teeth for the long term.
Support for Jaw Health
Correct alignment helps to minimize jaw strain, reducing discomfort over time.
