Where I come from, you'll find orthodontists in hospitals along with all the other doctors. If you're referring to the dentists whose job is to clean you up regularly and tell you to floss more often, I guess they're a distinct profession from GPs because that part of the body benefits from regular specific maintenance by a trained professional, but they're still doctors.

Here in the US they offer health insurance and dental insurance as two completely separate programs. They are separated enough that it strikes me as remarkable.

Insurance companies pushing a narrative to avoid paying for it? Complete guess.

so they can milk people's £$€
