Orthodontists are dental specialists trained in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.

They have several responsibilities, including:

Supervise facial growth in children
Create preventive treatment plans that could include braces or retainers
Applying braces to patients to help align and straighten teeth
If necessary, performing corrective jaw surgery on patients with facial imbalances.
