WHAT DOES AN ORTHODONTIST DO?
An orthodontist aims to improve the look and function of a child’s smile by employing a variety of appliances and treatment. Orthodontists are responsible for placing fixed appliances, like braces, which use gentle pressure to move teeth into proper alignment. When your child visits an orthodontist, he or she will receive a thorough orthodontic examination. Then, the orthodontist will determine which treatment, if any, is required.
