What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting teeth alignment and bite issues using various treatment methods, such as:
- Braces – Metal or ceramic brackets with wires that gradually move teeth into place.
- Clear Aligners – Removable, nearly invisible trays that straighten teeth discreetly.
- Retainers – Helps maintain the new position of teeth after treatment.
- Expanders & Space Maintainers – Used for children to guide jaw development and prevent future alignment issues.
The right orthodontic treatment depends on your unique dental needs and goals.
