An orthodontist is a dental specialist focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misalignments and irregularities of the teeth and jaw. Unlike general dentists, orthodontists undergo additional years of training to master the intricacies of orthodontic appliances, such as braces and clear aligners. Their primary goal is to correct dental and skeletal misalignments to improve both function and aesthetics of the smile.
Orthodontists often work with patients of all ages, from children requiring early intervention to adults seeking cosmetic improvements. They use various diagnostic tools, including X-rays, digital scans, and molds, to create precise treatment plans. Treatments may involve traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or advanced systems like Invisalign. Beyond enhancing appearance, orthodontic care can resolve functional issues such as bite problems, speech difficulties, and uneven wear of teeth. Orthodontists play a crucial role in ensuring long-term oral health by aligning teeth and jaws to promote optimal function and reduce the risk of future dental issues.
