Many orthodontists were thinking during a long period of time that orthodontics should only be carried out by orthodontists. However, orthodontic treatments have been simplified by the great technical advancement in orthodontics. Consequently, orthodontists became frightened of redundancy of the specialty orthodontics. Nevertheless, it is very doubtful that general practitioners are educated satisfactory for carrying out orthodontic treatments. It is suggested to establish a strong collaboration between orthodontists and general practitioners in order to define the working field of orthodontists and general practitioners appropriately.
