Are you dealing with crooked teeth or unhealthy gums? When dental issues extend beyond routine checkups, it's important to choose the right specialist. Orthodontists and periodontists both play vital roles, but they focus on different concerns.  At ToothWorks, one of Mumbai’s trusted dental clinics, we help you determine who to visit first—and why—so you can receive the appropriate care at the right time.

Orthodontist vs. Periodontist: What’s the Difference?

1. Orthodontist: The Alignment Expert  An orthodontist specializes in straightening teeth and correcting jaw alignment. If your smile appears crowded, uneven, or misaligned, this is the specialist you’ll likely see first. 2. Periodontist: Gum and Implant Specialist  A periodontist specializes in the health of the gums and supporting bone, focusing on the treatment of disease and the expert placement of dental implants. At ToothWorks, our experienced periodontists offer advanced gum care and provide some of the best dental implant treatments in Mahim.
