An Orthodontist is a specialist in a specific area of dental health in the same way that a Cardiologist is a specialist in heart health. If a person has a heart condition, the specialist they see is a Cardiologist. If you have teeth that are crooked, crowded, showing gaps, a jaw that is not aligned properly or problems with your bite, the specialist you should speak to before agreeing to any treatment is an Orthodontist.
After graduating from dental school, 4 out of 5 Dentists become General Dentists. A very small number (one of twenty) are accepted and go on to obtain a postgraduate degree in Orthodontics. Only after additional years of education at an accredited university as well as an Orthodontic internship can they present themselves as Orthodontists.
