Whether you want straighter teeth for cosmetic reasons or for better oral health, an orthodontist can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

While many people may think that only dentists offer orthodontic treatment, it’s important to note that orthodontists specialize in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. While dentists are certainly knowledgeable about orthodontics, seeing an orthodontist ensures that you are receiving the most specialized care possible.
