Orthodontics, a specialized field of dentistry, addresses malocclusions and jaw irregularities to restore dental health and enhance the smile’s aesthetic appeal. While initially geared towards children and teenagers, adults now make up a significant portion of orthodontic patients. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for individuals of any age seeking to correct dental issues and achieve a beautiful smile.

Orthodontics can effectively treat a variety of dental problems, including overcrowding, overbite, and underbite. These issues can lead to speech difficulties and chewing problems and contribute to dental and physical conditions such as TMD and periodontal disease. Early orthodontic intervention can prevent future dental complications and costly restorative procedures.

Orthodontic techniques, including fixed braces and removable appliances like headgear and Invisalign® aligners, can realign teeth and improve smile aesthetics. By utilizing panoramic X-rays and thorough examinations, orthodontists tailor treatment plans to suit individual needs, ensuring optimal results regardless of age or severity of the dental irregularity.
