Your Orthodontist is the best person to determine if a case is straightforward or not. Some dentists have an interest in orthodontics but only do a few orthodontic cases a week in between drilling and extracting, while an Orthodontist is specially trained and works exclusively with braces.

It is a misconception that treatment provided by an Orthodontist is always more expensive than treatment provided by a family dentist. Also, bear in mind that treatment provided by an Orthodontist is generally more comprehensive as a fully qualified Specialist is trained to a high standard.
