An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. They use braces, retainers, and other appliances to align teeth and jaws and improve the overall appearance of the face. They also help to ensure that teeth meet properly and function correctly, which can help to prevent tooth wear, headaches and other problems. They create treatment plans for each patient based on individual needs and goals. They also monitor and adjust treatment as needed, and may use advanced technology such as digital imaging and computer-aided design to create customized treatment plans. They work closely with general dentists and other dental specialists to provide comprehensive care for their patients.
