A Dentist? An Orthodontist? What’s the Difference?
So, what’s the difference between a dentist and an orthodontist? They both care for your mouth and teeth, but what sets them apart?
A dentist is concerned with overall oral health. They treat decayed teeth (fillings) and usually provide services such as crowns, veneers or bonding to improve the appearance and function of teeth that have decayed or are misshapen or broken. General dentists are licensed to practice dentistry, and some states allow them to provide specialty care, even if they do not have formal post-dental school training in those specialty services.
An orthodontist is a specialist in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists spend 2-3 more years (or 3,700 hours) in university than dentists to become accredited specialists focused on the movement of teeth, jawbones, facial bones, and soft tissue.
Fast Facts:
- All orthodontists are dentists, but only about 4% of dentists are orthodontists
- Years of education: 4-year undergraduate degree + 4-year dental degree + additional 2-3 year graduate degree
