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.
Both dentists and periodontists are focused on oral health, but while dentists mainly care for teeth, periodontists are focused on gum health and the health of the bones in the jaw. A periodontist performs such treatments as like bone grafting, deep pocket cleanings, and soft tissue removal.
