Whats the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist?
Cassandra K asked:
If you are looking into braces and stuff like that, do you have to go to an orthodontist? My dentist provides cosmetic services, but my mother-in-law says I should go to an ortho.

Like my professor always tells us…..if you needed heart surgery, would you go to a general doctor or would you go to a heart specialist? Well the same goes for you teeth. An Orthodontist is specialized just in braces and such. A general dentist is more for fillings, extractions, cleanings, crowns, etc.

General dentists perform general dentistry, but some like to 'spread their wings' and do some specialty treatments, like surgeries and orthodontic treatments… an orthodontist is a dentist who 'went the extra mile' to perfect his ortho skills, and does nothing else…
Yes, go to an orthodontist.
