An orthodontist specializes in the alignment of teeth and more importantly, correctly misaligned teeth to improve the patient’s quality of life. If your dentist refers you to an orthodontist, it is likely because your teeth/bite isn’t quite right and they feel you would benefit from seeing the orthodontist who can recommend braces that suit your needs.
An orthodontist can identify issues within your mouth and with your teeth. For example, a gap in your teeth, can grow larger over time. This can cause teeth to shift and become misaligned. To prevent and resolve this, your orthodontist will recommend a course of braces to pull your teeth closer together. If you have too many teeth that are causing crowding, bite issues and gum disease due to the inability to brush between them, an orthodontist may extract excess teeth to help you achieve optimum tooth spacing.
Orthodontists have various tools and methods to fix even the most complicated alignment issues.
