Orthodontist: Orthodontists are pediatric dents-facial growth and development specialists. Even if your General Dentist wants to treat, best place to be is with Orthodontic Specialist. Ask your General Dentist for the best Orthodontist in your area, who will see your child for an Initial Examination (usually free) and a discussion as to treatment alternatives and costs.
