Orthodontics and dentists both help patients improve their oral health, but in different ways. A specialist orthodontist has a special interest in mainly orthodontics and has undertaken additional specialist training in orthodontics. They are more specialised and able to treat patients with more complex needs. Another difference is that orthodontics specialise in helping patients with the alignment of their teeth, improving their bite, or fitting them for corrective braces and devices. A general dentist may be able to assist with the alignment of your teeth but they are limited in the types of cases they can do.

Orthodontists help with crooked teeth, but they assist patients with other issues as well. These include overbites and underbites, crossbites, spaces between teeth, overcrowding of teeth, and the treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
