What is the difference between cosmetic dentist and orthodontists in getting invisalign treatment? which is better? i got mines with a cosmetic dentis

Specialists : An orthodontist is a specialist in braces and other orthodontic treatments like Invisalign. A cosmetic dentist does everything which includes crown and bridge and Invisalign and many other dental treatments. To be a provider Invisalign requires some training for general dentist. I am sure your cosmetic dentist is well trained and experienced in the area. Hope that helps.

Invisalign: Invisalign is another tool that general dentists and orthodontists can use to align your teeth. Experience is the key to successful care. Orthodontists are prepared to handle invisalign complications since treatment does not always proceed as planned. That's not to say that cosmetic dentist can't treat you adequately. Use your best judgement.

Orthodontist: Orthodontists have years more training, and do nothing but Orthodontic care full time. General (cosmetic) Dentists have at least 2 full years less training in Orthodontic Treatment, and do Invisalign part time between the fillings, crowns, and bridges. Would you go to your Family Doctor for brain surgery, or a Neurosurgeon?

Basic Difference: The orthodontist is a specialist that only focus on correcting bites, occlusion, airway and the straightness of teeth. The general dentist deals with all cases such as cavities, root canals, gum, cleanings. Call orthodontist for invisalign treatment.

Either Can Work: An orthodontist has more formal university training in straightening teeth. However, a cosmetic dentist who has taken advanced training can also be quite capable. What's just as important as training is experience and complexity of the case. Just because someone had training in the past doesn't mean they're proficient now. Invisalign is a specialized treatment. Ask about that specifically.
