What is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of mispositioned teeth and jaws.
Specialising in Orthodontics requires specialist orthodontic qualifications and years of training.
They prepare orthodontic treatment plans to align and straighten teeth, improve bite function, and enhance overall oral health. Orthodontists use various appliances to straighten teeth, such as: fixed metal and ceramic braces; aligners, such as Spark Aligners and Invisalign.

What qualifications do orthodontists have?
Firstly, all orthodontists must have a dental degree (BDS). Secondly, they must have postgraduate orthodontic training to specialise in orthodontics. After a few years of clinical practice and completing a postgraduate program to acquire FDS or MFDS, they must attend a three-year full time orthodontic specialist training leading to the M.Orth qualification.
