While many dentists offer braces or aligners, only Specialist Orthodontists have the advanced training and expertise to safely and effectively straighten teeth.

For the best results and long-term smile health, trust your treatment to an orthodontic expert.

What is an Orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dental specialist with an additional three years of full-time university training focused solely on aligning teeth and jaws.

They’re experts in diagnosing, preventing, and treating issues like crowding, crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and other jaw concerns. Using advanced tools such as braces and clear aligners, orthodontists improve both the function and appearance of your smile.

While general dentists care for overall oral health, orthodontists specialise in tooth and jaw alignment.

Choosing a qualified orthodontist ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.

What is a Dentist?

Dentists are primary oral healthcare providers who complete five years of university training to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of dental conditions.

They focus on maintaining overall oral health, offering services such as check-ups, cleans, fillings, crowns, and extractions.

Dentists also treat issues like tooth decay and gum disease, helping to prevent more serious dental problems over time.

While some dentists may offer basic orthodontic treatments, they are not specialists in teeth and jaw alignment. This is why a Specialist Orthodontist is recommended.
