Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with improper positioning of teeth. A person may have an over bite, under bite, overcrowding of teeth, crooked teeth or a jaw misalignment—which could cause eating or speech problems. In such cases, orthodontic treatments are recommended to slowly change the positioning of the teeth to be straighter and more aligned. Orthodontics can also be used for cosmetic purposes if the person wishes to have a better smile. In Orthodontics, we also have Invisalign clear aligners, which are the alternative teeth straightening treatment to braces of teeth for kids, teens, and adults. Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time
Orthdontics is an effective treatment method that can be used to:
- Close gaps between teeth
- Ensure that your teeth and jaw are properly aligned
- Straighten crooked teeth
- Improve oral function (such as eating or speech)
- Mend improper bites
