An orthodontist or other trained dental professional is responsible for affixing the dental braces onto the teeth. The wire and brackets that form part of the braces are pressed against the patientâs teeth. This supports slight movements that can help in properly aligning and straightening the teeth.
A general dentist will also provide preventative care such as dental cleaning (the familiar âscale and polishâ), teeth whitening and the correct way to brush and floss the teeth. Your general dentist is your first port of call for any dental issues you may have. If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry such as dental veneers then you may find that he/she is qualified to carry out this treatment. There are general dentists who are trained in specialist procedures such as these.
