See Orthodontist: Regardless, what may be the reason for your concern, you need to consult orthodontist and get diagnosis and treatment plan accordingly. The difference between orthodontist and a general dentist is that dentist deals with general dentistry and orthodontist is a specialist for correcting bites, occlusion, and the straightness of teeth.
