Orthodontics

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating jaw, face, and bite irregularities, known as malocclusions. Orthodontic treatment is administered by orthodontists, who undergo two to three years of additional training after dental school.

In recent years, the dental industry has seen significant advancements, particularly in orthodontic care. With increased awareness of fluoride use and preventive dentistry, there has been a reduction in cavities and missing teeth. This heightened focus on dental health and aesthetics has led many individuals to seek orthodontic treatment for both medical and cosmetic reasons.

Whether through traditional braces or custom-made removable appliances, orthodontics can help you achieve the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted! Malocclusions, or improper teeth alignment, can impact both dental function and facial appearance. They can be inherited or result from habits like thumb sucking and tongue thrusting, or from early loss of baby teeth or adult tooth extraction.
