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.
braces,retainer and stuff like that = orthodontist
cavitys,cleanings, and stuff like that=dentist
An orthodontist is a dentist who has had additional training in straightening teeth That is all he does!! DR HW
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.
