An orthodontist is a dental professional who specialises in the alignment of teeth and jaw development. They may work on adults as well as children, using the latest in dental technologies and procedures like braces and alignment practices to address some of the most common problem areas in oral structure.
For the most part, an orthodontist is going to be a specialist who will be applying things like braces to tackle issues like crooked teeth, misalignment, gaps, and much more, all with the goal of helping to create a health, well positioned smile and give you the tools that you need to maintain your new alignment.
What does an Orthodontist do?
Damon Braces
“Fastest, most comfortable fixed braces. Employs newer technology, allowing for faster treatment and less strain to the teeth. Ceramic brackets available”.
Fast Braces
“Relatively new orthodontic system popular with adults. Straightens teeth in just a few months’ typically. Uses metal / tooth coloured brackets.”
Metal Braces
“Most common type of braces usually made of stainless steel. Very effective at straightening teeth. Cost effective treatment.”
Ceramic Braces
“Similar to fixed braces, but with ceramic tooth coloured brackets. More discreet, therefore more popular with adult patients.”
Ultimately, an orthodontist is the person who will be overseeing the entire process of getting procedures like fitting orthodontic braces completed. That is likely going to include everything from the initial consultation and preparation to the fitting itself, and the aftercare too.
They will be the person who will be helping you choose the right treatment for your specific needs, making sure that you know what is happening, how to look after your braces and making sure they are as they should be, and generally making sure that your braces are doing the job that they need to without any hiccups along the way.
This all gets done in a few different forms
Comprehensive Assessments and Diagnoses
The first step in the orthodontic process is to get a good understanding of your current situation. By using technology like X-rays, 3D scans and imaging, an orthodontist will create an accurate representation of your oral situation and ensure that everyone involved in the process, including you, knows what is going on, what can be treated, and what the end result may be if done in the suggested time frames.
Treatment Planning
Once an accurate image is taken, the next thing that an orthodontist does is create a plan for treatment. This can factor in the specifics of your situation even outside of your oral health, with things such as the best types of braces, your budget, the ideal outcome, the patient’s age, and preferences all taken into account to give you the information and the options that you need to make the right choice and set your expectations with transparent understanding.
Brace Fitting and Adjustment
Arguably the main role of an orthodontist and what an orthodontist actually does is to fit the braces in the first place. After all due diligence is done, an orthodontist is the professional who will be fitting and adjusting your branches to ensure that they are correctly set up to do the job that they need to. They will ensure that the braces are stable, comfortable, and at a suitable pressure to guide your teeth into their corrected positions and do so in the easiest way possible, making changes and adjustments whenever necessary throughout the entire process.
Patient Education and Guidance
Finally, an orthodontist is also the person who will be educating you on how to maintain your braces and your overall dental health throughout your process and afterwards. They will be setting guidelines to help you understand the limits of your braces and what you should and shouldn’t be doing while undergoing treatment. They will of course also answer all of your questions, help you to feel comfortable with the process as a whole, and make sure that your braces are working as they should at regular intervals to ensure the correct result.
Orthodontists play a vital role in educating and guiding patients on proper oral care during orthodontic treatment. They provide instructions on maintaining good oral hygiene, dietary considerations, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. By offering support and answering questions, orthodontists empower patients to actively participate in their treatment journey.

After completion of Orthodontic treatment, you’ll gain more than just a straighter smile. It has the power to transform your dental health, boost your self-confidence, and improve your overall well-being. Let’s explore the remarkable results that can be achieved through orthodontic treatment.
Enhanced Dental Alignment
Probably the most obvious and visible result of orthodontic treatment is achieving a visually beautifully aligned smile. Crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth are gradually shifted into their optimal positions, creating a harmonious and balanced appearance. Straighter teeth not only enhance your smile’s aesthetics but also will also give your confidence that needed boost.
Improved Oral Health
Orthodontic treatment goes beyond cosmetic improvements. By properly aligning teeth and correcting malocclusions, orthodontists address oral health issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, and bite problems. This leads to improved oral hygiene as it becomes easier to clean teeth, reducing the risk of plaque build-up, gum disease, and tooth decay.
Better Bite and Functionality
Orthodontists are responsible for correcting bite problems like overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. By aligning the jaws and teeth, it’ll improve the functionality and efficiency of your bite. This can lead to more comfortable chewing, reduced jaw pain or discomfort, and minimising pain whilst speaking.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
A healthy and confident smile can have a profound impact on your self-esteem and overall confidence. If you are tired of hiding your teeth, orthodontic treatment addresses dental concerns that may have caused self-consciousness in the past. As you witness the positive changes in your smile, you’ll feel more comfortable and confident in social and professional interactions. No more making sure your mouth is closed when a photo is being taken.
Long-Term Dental Stability
Orthodontic treatment aims for lasting results. Following the active treatment phase, patients are typically provided with retainers to maintain the achieved alignment. Retainers help ensure that teeth remain in their proper positions, preserving the results of the treatment and preventing.
