The Role of an Orthodontist
The Difference Between Orthodontists and Dentists
While both orthodontists and dentists play important roles in maintaining oral health, their expertise differs significantly. Dentists focus on general oral health care, such as cleanings, fillings, and preventive treatments, while orthodontists specialize in diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues. Orthodontists undergo additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, allowing them to treat complex cases of tooth alignment and bite problems.
Unlike dentists, orthodontists are specifically trained to use advanced tools like braces and clear aligners, such as Invisalign, to straighten teeth and correct bite problems. These treatments not only improve the appearance of your smile but also enhance overall oral function. By choosing an orthodontist, you ensure you’re receiving expert care tailored to your unique orthodontic needs, leading to better, long-term results.
