An Orthodontist, is a dentist specialized in the straightening of teeth. Orthodontists  undergo several years of specialization after medical school in order to obtain their qualifications and they usually have to obtain their licenses to practice.

Teeth may be needed to be straightened due to birth defects, malformations, or resulting from  accidents. Besides catering for the aesthetics, orthodontic treatments could really go a long way to assure the longevity of teeth and  general tooth health. This is because uneven teeth would provide an uneven biting surface which causes pains in the jaws and oral muscles, making chewing difficult and painful. As a result the jaws become fatigued leading to pains and even migraines in some cases. Uneven teeth cannot be cleaned effectively and may result in serious complications and mouth diseases.

 Orthodontic treatments are available for children as well as for adults. With the majority of children receiving corrective procedures as they are still in growth to permit the teeth to be corrected, and straightened during their natural growing process, and adults usually receiving procedures that are targeted to reversing the result of trauma like damages to the jaws and teeth  due to accidents. Treatments in both cases are carried out by using special devices that have different descriptions and are used to target different areas. These are commonly know as braces are set in the mouth such that they restrain the teeth and and force them into the desired patterns.
