For potential patients, it’s always nice to hear the word “experience” associated with any medical professional. For treatment as front-facing and permanent as orthodontic work, you likely want all the experience you can get. Lozman Orthodontics exemplifies this principle through our orthodontist, Dr. Robin Lozman.
Expert Training That Matters
Did you know that orthodontists start as dentists first? Out of every 100 dental graduates, typically only around six will go on to specialize in orthodontics. Dr. Robin Lozman invested 10 years in specialized training:
- Four years of college education
- Four years of dental school
- Two additional years specializing in orthodontics
This extensive training equipped Dr. Robin Lozman with advanced knowledge in tooth movement and facial growth guidance—skills that general dentists don’t possess. Her extensive education and hands-on experience mean she can confidently handle simple to complex orthodontic cases with exceptional outcomes. She’s been serving our community since 1997.
When you visit our office, you’ll immediately sense the personalized care that two generations of orthodontists have perfected. We believe that each patient deserves individually tailored treatment, so every smile transformation begins with a custom treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Why Experience Matters for Complex Cases
An experienced orthodontist like Dr. Robin Lozman is particularly valuable when handling complicated cases involving:
- Severe bite problems, including significant overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Complex jaw alignment issues that may require precise adjustments and careful management
- Cases that require multidisciplinary coordination with other dental specialists, such as oral surgeons, periodontists, or general dentists
- Management of teeth that are impacted, crowded, or have spacing issues that demand detailed treatment planning
- Patients with previous orthodontic work that did not achieve the desired results, needing corrective or revision orthodontics
Her decades of experience mean she has successfully navigated virtually every orthodontic challenge. This expertise gives her—and you—the confidence to handle even the most complex orthodontic conditions.

Why Experience and Credentials Matter: Choosing the Right Orthodontist
Finally, we want to cover some Q and A’s patients may have while choosing a provider. We also highly encourage you to reach out to us directly if you have any specific questions or may need certain accommodations ahead of your consultation/treatment.
Q: Why is it better to see an experienced orthodontist instead of visiting a corporate chain?
A: Corporate chain offices often operate on high patient volume and fast turnover. While that may sound convenient if you lead a busy lifestyle, it can mean abbreviated appointments, less continuity in care, and limited one-on-one time with the same provider. In contrast, a qualified and experienced orthodontist—especially one who owns or leads a private or family-centered practice like Lozman Orthodontics—offers:
- Consistent, personalized care from start to finish
- Deep understanding of long-term treatment planning
- Higher likelihood of accurate diagnoses and efficient treatment
- A strong local reputation based on results, not quotas
Q: Do experienced orthodontists really make a difference in treatment outcomes?
A: Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Experienced orthodontists have seen thousands of cases, allowing them to anticipate challenges, adapt techniques, and provide more customized solutions. Our team also stays up to date with advancements in technology, materials, and treatment methods.
Q: What are the risks of choosing a less experienced or rotating doctor at a chain clinic?
A: Inconsistencies in care can lead to longer treatment times, discomfort, and even compromised results. You run the risk of:
- Seeing a different doctor at every visit
- Having limited direct communication with your provider
- Encountering less flexibility in problem-solving if complications arise
Choosing a credentialed orthodontist like Dr. Robin Lozman offers you and your family peace of mind and a more reliable path to a healthy smile.
