An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting problems with the alignment and positioning of the teeth and jaws. These specialists address various dental concerns, such as crooked teeth, lack of space in the mouth for teeth, teeth that stick out or are too far back, and gaps between teeth. Orthodontists use a variety of treatments to straighten teeth and improve dental alignment, including braces, clear aligners, retainers, and other devices. They carefully evaluate each patient's unique needs and develop personalized treatment plans to achieve the best possible results, with the goal of improving dental health, function, and appearance.
