Invisalign Dentists are general dentists trained to provide Invisalign clear aligner treatments, often working in general dental practices. Orthodontists are specialists with additional training in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. While Invisalign Dentists can offer Invisalign, orthodontists typically handle more complex cases. Both roles are essential in the dental industry, but orthodontists have advanced expertise in orthodontic appliances beyond Invisalign.
