To become an orthodontist, one has to attend at least two more years of specific training in orthodontia in addition to their regular dentistry education. Not to say that a dentist couldn't perform some type of realignment, but an orthodontist is typically going to be much more experienced in this type of "repair."
Honestly, I'm not a huge expert on the subject, but I've been putting together a website at http://www.orthodontistsalaryblog.com and I've been doing quite a bit of research lately. I hope I've helped a little.
