Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, most commonly involving the alignment of the teeth, jaws, and bite. Orthodontics aims to improve both the function and appearance of a patient's smile by correcting misaligned teeth (malocclusion) and jaw issues.

Key Areas of Focus in Orthodontics:

1. Teeth Alignment: Straightening crooked or misaligned teeth.
2. Bite Issues: Correcting bite problems such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
3. Jaw Alignment: Treating issues with the positioning of the upper and lower jaws.
4. Facial Aesthetics: Improving facial symmetry by adjusting the alignment of the teeth and jaws.
