What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve oral health and aesthetics. Orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces or aligners, to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, creating a straighter and more harmonious smile.

Why Do You Need Orthodontics?

  • Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues due to food debris stuck between gaps.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance of your smile, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
  • Better Bite Function: Correcting misaligned teeth and jaws can improve bite function, reducing strain on the jaw joints and preventing issues such as TMJ disorders.
  • ⁠Prevention of Future Problems: Orthodontic treatment can address alignment issues early on, preventing more significant problems from developing later in life.

Consult with our dentist to understand more in the different options and the best suited one for you.
