Everybody knows how important it is to smile, and we all want our smile to shine through. This means regular dentistry based work and, for many people, treatment by an orthodontist. Orthodontistry helps make sure your teeth come in, and stay straight. Their work can be purely cosmetic, ensuring a patient has nice-looking teeth, or it can be medical, depending on the severity of the case. In short, an orthodontist is the dentist who works with braces and retainers.

When Do I Need an Orthodontist?

While it is best for treatment to begin while a child is still growing, this does not mean adults can’t have braces – teeth can be treated by an orthodontist at any age.
