Orthodontist 1 article

Orthodontist is a dental specialist trained to diagnose and manage malocclusion, tooth-position problems and aspects of dentofacial growth. Treatment planning may use fixed appliances, clear aligners, functional appliances and other orthodontic mechanics, supported by records such as photographs, radiographs and digital models. The specialty is concerned with controlled movement and occlusal development rather than general restorative care, and complex cases may require coordination with oral surgery, periodontics or restorative dentistry.
