🎬 Dr. Brooke getting ready to explain one of the biggest misconceptions in oral health: a dentist and an orthodontist aren’t the same thing.
🦷 Real facts:
• All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists.
• Orthodontists complete additional specialty training focused on tooth movement, bite correction, jaw alignment, and facial development.
• Dentists focus on overall oral health, including cleanings, fillings, crowns, and gum health.
• Orthodontists specialize in braces, clear aligners, and correcting bite issues.
