Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Common treatments include braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, retainers, and space maintainers. These devices gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, resulting in improved function and aesthetics.
Misaligned teeth and bite issues (such as overbite, underbite, or crowding) not only affect appearance but can also cause difficulty in chewing, speech impediments, and excessive wear on the teeth. Orthodontic treatment addresses these issues by applying gentle, controlled forces over time to reposition the teeth and jaws.
Braces remain the most effective and widely used orthodontic solution. They consist of brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a wire that is periodically adjusted to guide teeth into the desired position. Clear aligners offer a more discreet alternative, especially for adults seeking minimal visual impact during treatment.
The best time for orthodontic evaluation is during childhood or early adolescence, while the jaw is still developing. However, adults can also benefit greatly from orthodontic care, and modern techniques make treatment more comfortable and accessible at any age.
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment ultimately supports better oral health, balanced facial structure, and a confident smile. It’s not just about straight teeth—it’s about overall dental well-being and function.
