Who is an Orthodontist? Understanding Their Role and Expertise at Dentique

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misalignments of the teeth and jaws. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who undergoes advanced training beyond dental school to help patients achieve straight teeth, a healthy bite, and a confident smile.

At Dentique, Wakad, our expert orthodontists combine advanced technology, experience, and personalized care to ensure every patient receives effective and comfortable treatment.


Who is an Orthodontist?

A qualified orthodontist has completed dental school and additional years of specialized training in orthodontics. This training equips them with the skills to handle complex cases involving:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth

  • Bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

  • Jaw misalignment

  • Space management for proper tooth eruption

At Dentique, our orthodontists are experts in braces, clear aligners, retainers, and jaw correction devices, ensuring precise treatment for both children and adults.

What Does an Orthodontist Do?

Orthodontists provide a range of treatments to improve both the function and appearance of your teeth:

  • Braces: Traditional metal, ceramic, or lingual braces gradually move teeth into proper alignment.

  • Clear Aligners: Discreet, removable trays (like Invisalign) shift teeth subtly while allowing easy oral hygiene.

  • Retainers: Customized devices maintain teeth alignment after braces or aligner treatment.

  • Jaw Alignment: Orthodontists correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites to improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.

  • Palatal Expanders: Devices used to widen the upper jaw in growing patients for better alignment and space creation.


Why You Might Need to See an Orthodontist

Consult an orthodontist at Dentique, Wakad if you have:

  • Crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth

  • Bite problems causing difficulty chewing or speaking

  • Jaw pain or discomfort

  • Trouble cleaning misaligned teeth, leading to cavities or gum disease

Importance of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic care is not just cosmetic — it is essential for overall oral health. Misaligned teeth and jaws can cause:
