Orthodontist vs dentist

At No1 The Orthodontic Specialists we specialise in creating stunning smiles using the latest technology and a range of teeth straightening appliances; choosing the system that will work best for you and suit your lifestyle. What we do differs greatly from the care your dentist provides you. We believe it’s important you understand the difference between what we do and what your dentist does for you.
