Orthodontists are the dental specialists who correct dental and facial irregularities, day in and day out. An orthodontist is expert at moving teeth, helping jaws develop properly and working with the patient to help make sure the teeth stay in their new positions.

Orthodontists are dentists first but they have undergone at least two years of post doctoral advanced specialty training in orthodontics in an accredited program. An orthodontist is a specialist, uniquely qualified to move teeth safely, help jaws develop properly, manage changing facial growth patterns, and correct bad bites. He does this all day, every day.
