This is a very common doubt that comes  around the ????????? ?????… Please take your time to read this very valuable information for you . 

Although there are some General Dentists that offer Orthodontic Treatments such as  ??????????, ?????? ??? ?????????, unfortunately patients are rarely aware of the amount of training the dentist has had in the Orthodontics field, plus their experience with a particular appliance and with complex cases.

What is the difference between a ??????? and an ????????????? Quite simple! Both are General Dentists.

In Dental School, they both learned things like cleaning teeth, extracting teeth, removing cavities and placing fillings. Once a dentist graduates from dental school, they go on to practice General Dentistry.

Now, In order to become an ????????????, a dentist has to then continue with his/her education by undergoing a competitive entry, three (3) year postgraduate degree course. During this time he/she will be dedicated to receive a full time training in both clinical and academic studies focused only in ????????????.

Upon completion of this extensive training, they become an Orthodontics Specialist. So ,  that is an ????????????.

So, if you see a ?????????? ????????????, you can have the confidence that the dental professional has had considerable experience in this particular field of Dentistry.

This is the reason why an Orthodontist should  always be your first choice when it comes to any dental treatment that involves  the correction of ???? ????????, and ????? ????????????? ??? ?????????
