What is an Orthodontist?

Orthodontics is the dental discipline dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and correction of misaligned jaws, teeth and bites. From mouthguards to other modern aligners, orthodontics is very common and not only helps with better oral health but also aesthetic outcomes. 

Importance of Orthodontist Services

Orthodontist services are important for correcting misaligned teeth and jaw issues, ensuring a healthy bite, proper function, and an attractive smile. Misaligned teeth can lead to problems such as difficulty chewing, speech issues, and orthodontic treatments, including braces and aligners, help straighten teeth and prevent long-term dental complications.

FAQs

Are dentist and orthodontist the same?

No, dentists and orthodontists are not the same. Dentists focus on overall oral health, including fillings and checkups. Orthodontists, on the other hand, specialise in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws using treatments like braces or aligners.  

Yes, orthodontists are trained to identify cavities, even though their main focus is on teeth alignment and bite correction. If we spot a cavity or other dental issue during your visit, we will likely recommend seeing a general dentist. 

While orthodontists are qualified dentists, they typically focus on orthodontic treatments. For routine dental care like cleanings, fillings, and check-ups, it’s best to see a general dentist. 

Yes, you can visit an orthodontist without a referral. Many people book appointments directly for consultations. However, some insurance plans may require a referral.
