Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. The most common treatment involves braces, which align teeth and improve bite function. Orthodontic treatment can benefit patients of all ages, leading to healthier teeth and a more attractive smile.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments
- Traditional Braces: Metal brackets and wires that correct alignment.
- Clear Aligners: Removable trays that gradually shift teeth into place.
- Lingual Braces: Braces placed behind the teeth for a discreet option.
- Retainers: Used after braces to maintain teeth position.
