Orthodontists have completed additional training to specialise in straightening teeth and correcting jaw alignment with braces and aligners. However, they start as dentists, so they do know how to take care of the health of your smile as well, despite it not being their speciality.
A Dentist is most concerned with oral hygiene and the health of the teeth and gums. Dentists can help you with gum disease and tooth decay, as well as general cleanings.
A Specialist Orthodontist is best suited to transforming your teeth from an aesthetic and functional point of view. They can assess, treat and transform your teeth however, you should continue to see your dentist throughout your orthodontic treatment and beyond to maintain your overall oral health.
