Answers:
Dentist: Dentistry is the "evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases, disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body"!.[1] Those in the practice of dentistry are known as dentists!.

Orthodontist: Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
VERY EASIY!.
EVERY ORTHODONTIST (BRACES) WAS A DENTIST FIRST!. DENTISTS CAN ALSO DO BRACES IF TRAINED FOR THESE!. AN ORTHODONTIST LIMITS HIS/HER PRACTICE TO ONLY BRACES INSTEAD TO ALL OTHER DENTAL WORK!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The orthodontist is a dentist specialized in orthodontia!. You could say he/she is a dentist that has gotten a lot of extra training on braces!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's like the difference between an alcoholic and a drunkard!. It's a matter of money and standing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The Dentist does more of cleaning and medical stuff, The Orthodontist does more of cosmetic stuff!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ortho does braces and retainers and stuff!.

Dentist doesn't!.
