Why Choose an Orthodontist Over a Dentist for Teeth Straightening
While both dentists and orthodontists help improve your oral health, orthodontists undergo additional years of specialized training specifically focused on the alignment of teeth and jaws. This makes them the experts in treatments that involve braces, invisalign, and other teeth-straightening procedures. Choosing an orthodontist for your treatment ensures that you're getting specialized care, which often leads to better results and a more comfortable experience.
