Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. It primarily deals with issues such as crooked teeth, overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and other irregularities that affect a person’s bite and overall oral health.
Orthodontic treatment typically involves the use of braces, clear aligners (such as Invisalign), retainers, and other dental appliances to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. These treatments not only improve the appearance of the teeth but also enhance oral function, making it easier to chew, speak, and maintain good dental hygiene.
Orthodontists, who are dental specialists in this field, assess patients using X-rays, digital scans, and other diagnostic tools to develop personalized treatment plans. Early intervention, especially in children and teenagers, can help guide jaw growth and prevent more severe dental issues in the future.
In addition to aesthetic benefits, orthodontic care can prevent long-term oral health problems like gum disease, tooth decay, and excessive wear on teeth. With advancements in technology, modern orthodontic treatments have become more effective, comfortable, and less visible, making them accessible to patients of all ages.
