Orthodontist vs. Dentist: Understanding the Difference
You may have wondered: Can’t my regular dentist straighten my teeth? It’s a great question, and one we hear often. While both dentists and orthodontists care deeply about your oral health, their training and focus are quite different.
A Dentist’s Role In Your Smile
Dentists are your first line of defense for a healthy mouth. They handle routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and overall dental wellness. They’re experts in preventing and treating tooth decay, gum disease, and other everyday concerns that affect your oral health.
An Orthodontist’s Role In Your Smile
Orthodontists like Dr. Rajanna are specialists who go beyond general dentistry to focus on how your teeth and jaws align. After dental school, orthodontists complete additional years of residency and advanced training dedicated exclusively to tooth movement and bite correction.
That expertise means orthodontists understand how to guide your teeth into healthy, stable positions, improving not just how your smile looks, but how it functions.
So when it comes to treatments like braces or clear aligners, a specialist like Dr. Rajanna is your best choice. He uses advanced 3D imaging and digital planning to create precise, personalized treatment plans that deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.
