About Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the dental specialty which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.The most commonly used Orthodontic appliances are stainless steel "braces" which are glued on to the surfaces of teeth, with a wire going across these braces, connecting them.If you have irregular or spaced teeth, you would probably benefit from Orthodontic treatment.

Why choose an Orthodontist over a general dentist for Orthodontic treatment?

General dentists can straighten teeth, especially simple problems. However, Orthodontists can recognize the difference between a simple case and a complex one. And when a case is challenging, Orthodontists know what to do because they have been trained to treat difficult cases too.

There are many other specialties in dentistry also, such as Periodontics (for gum diseases), Pedodontics (for children), Prosthodontics (for replacing missing teeth), Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (for surgery of the teeth and jaws), etc.
