The Difference Between Orthodontists and Dentists
Orthodontists and dentists both specialize in oral health, but their expertise differs significantly. Dentists focus on general oral health, providing preventive care, fillings, crowns, and other treatments to maintain overall dental hygiene. Orthodontists, on the other hand, specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment, requiring additional training after dental school.
Orthodontic treatment addresses issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, and bite problems. These professionals use advanced techniques such as braces and clear aligners to improve smiles and oral function. Seeing an orthodontist for teeth straightening ensures specialized care tailored to your unique needs. Their training and experience offer the highest standard of care for achieving long-lasting results.
Choosing an orthodontist for orthodontic treatment ensures you receive focused expertise, modern technology, and a personalized plan designed to meet your goals.
