Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontists use various techniques, such as braces, clear aligners, and retainers, to improve dental aesthetics and functionality. Through careful assessment and personalized treatment plans, they address issues like overcrowding, overbites, and underbites. Modern orthodontics incorporates advanced technologies like 3D imaging and computer-aided design to enhance precision.
Treatment duration varies, typically spanning several months to a few years. Beyond aesthetics, orthodontic interventions contribute to better oral health by promoting proper bite alignment and reducing the risk of dental problems associated with misaligned teeth.
