Orthodontics
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with teeth alignment to correct malocclusions (improper bites) and also the modification of facial growth. While orthodontic treatment has traditionally been recommended for functional reasons (ie to improve a patient’s bite), it is increasingly used for aesthetic reasons to improve a person’s appearance.
Common problems are corrected using orthodontic appliances like metal braces, ceramic (tooth-colored) braces, lingual braces and clear path (invisalign or invisible braces). The dental conditions requiring braces include improperly aligned teeth, crowded or unevenly spaced teeth, protruding teeth, extra or missing teeth, misaligned jaws, and bite problems.
The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments
- Aesthetic Refinement: Orthodontic treatment transforms misaligned teeth into a symphony of beauty and balance.
- Oral Wellness: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum issues.
- Functional Enhancement: Orthodontics can resolve bite irregularities, enhancing chewing and speech.
