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.
Dentists have one of the following series of letters after their names: D.D.S. (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or D.M.D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine).Both of these degrees mean the same thing, but different schools may award different degrees.arning. Some dental practitioners do not need to be dentists to work on teeth. They include dental assistants (CDA for Certified Dental Assistant) and hygienists (Licensed Dental Hygienist). Make sure your dentist has D.D.S or D.M.D after their names if you only want licensed dentists doing the work on your teeth.
