With the availability of Invisalign and braces that are virtually invisible, you can get adult orthodontics from your cosmetic dentist without having to see an orthodontics specialist. Your cosmetic dentist uses adult braces and clear aligners to treat only those teeth that are actually visible when you smile. So, when you have severe bite problems, this is not a good option for you.
