Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that involves correcting malocclusion, which is the misalignment of a bite or incorrect spacing between teeth.
This is usually accomplished through the use of orthodontic braces or clear aligners
Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients’ teeth.
It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.
Early diagnosis and treatment can guide erupting teeth into a more favorable position, preserve space for the permanent teeth and reduce the likelihood of fracturing protruded front teeth.
