What Types of Dentist Do Braces?
Orthodontists are the specific dentists that apply braces. As a dental specialist, they focus on TMJ disorders, teeth straightening, and occlusions.

“I did Invisalign with OCDS after reading reviews on Yelp. I moved from AZ and needed a dentist that could help me with my crooked teeth. They are too many people with perfect teeth in OC and I was feeling left out!!
The office is professionally run and they make you feel at home. The office is clean and nice and Vivian was amazing dealing with her insurance. I felt like there were no hidden fees and the price was fair. I found everybody very efficient, accommodating–for example, if you have to re-schedule etc.–but also super friendly, encouraging, and relaxed. There’s a feeling that everyone gets along very well. I will keep you guys posted as the year progresses!
Dr. Sharma is the best dentist in Irvine. ”
