Orthodontists and dentists collaborate within the field of oral health. While general dentistry addresses a wide spectrum of dental concerns, orthodontists specialize and receive additional education and specialty degrees in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. Orthodontists use a variety of tools and appliances, including braces, clear aligners, and retainers to achieve the best outcomes. The partnership between the orthodontist and dentist ensures comprehensive care, where each professional’s expertise complements the other to improve patients’ dental well-being. Keep up with your dental health by scheduling a consultation to address any alignment issues you are experiencing with your teeth. There’s no time like the present!
