Orthodontist vs Dentist – what is the difference? While both dentists and orthodontists work hand in hand to improve dental health and hygiene, there is a difference in the area of specialisation.
Dentists specialise in treating and preventing oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum diseases. While orthodontists focus on teeth alignment and position of the jaw and how it plays a part to improve overall well being and appearance.
All orthodontists are dentists in addition to having further training and education in facial development and growth.
