Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting irregularities in the alignment of teeth and jaws. This includes:

• Diagnosing: Identifying issues with teeth and jaw.
• Planning: Developing a treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
• Treatment: Application of various appliances to move teeth into the desired position.
• Retention: Preventing relapse after treatment completion.

• Loss of space: Overlapping teeth, tilted teeth, impacted (un-erupted) teeth.
• Lack of space: Impacted teeth, diastema (gap between teeth).
• Malocclusion: Deep bite, crossbite, open bite.
• Asymmetry: Misaligned jaw position.

• Fixed appliances: Metal braces or esthetic braces attached to the teeth, connected with wires/archwires.
• Removable appliances: Appliances that the patient can insert and remove themselves, such as an activator or bionator.
• Clear aligners: Modern, discreet appliance for gradually moving teeth.

The duration of treatment depends on the individual issue and can range from several months to several years.

• More attractive smile: Increased self-confidence and esthetics.
• Healthy teeth: Easier cleaning and maintenance of oral hygiene.
• Improved function: Proper bite improves chewing and speech.
• Oral health: Prevents damage to teeth and jaws.

Orthodontics is suitable for all ages, from children to adults.
