Orthodontist and dentist both help patients in the improvement of their oral health, though not in the same way. Dentistry is a general dental speciality that deals with your teeth, gums, nerves and jaw whilst orthodontics is a field under dentistry that focuses on correcting bites, occlusions and teeth straightening.
It is also said that all orthodontist is a dentist but not all dentist are orthodontists.
