Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, prevention, stopping, guiding and correcting bad bites or dental irregularities, including the use of dental braces. Specialists known as orthodontists are the right persons to consult for your orthodontic treatment. These specialists receive their specialization by completing two years or more of additional training after having received five years of dental education.

Benefits

• It is undisputed that straightening your teeth has its aesthetic benefits. Also, crooked teeth can be more difficult to clean, which, as the result, can lead to tooth decay or periodontal disease.
• Teeth that don’t sit properly can cause chewing to become more difficult, leading to headaches, shoulder or back pain, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
