Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve oral function, appearance, and long-term dental health.

Common orthodontic issues treated:

• Crowded or crooked teeth

• Overbite or underbite

• Crossbite

• Gaps between teeth

• Jaw misalignment
  
  
  

  Braces

  Braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments. They use brackets, wires, and sometimes rubber bands to slowly shift teeth into proper alignment.

  Types of Braces:

  • Metal Braces: Traditional and effective for complex cases.

  • Ceramic Braces: Less noticeable than metal, but function similarly.

  • Lingual Braces: Attached to the back of the teeth, hidden from view.

  Benefits:

  • Effective for severe misalignments

  • Long-lasting results

  • Suitable for all ages
