Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Using braces, aligners, and other appliances, orthodontics not only improves the appearance of your smile but also enhances oral function, bite alignment, and overall dental health.

Why is Orthodontic Treatment Important?

  • Straightens crooked or crowded teeth
  • Corrects bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
  • Improves chewing, speaking, and jaw function
  • Prevents uneven tooth wear and jaw pain

Frequently Asked Questions

Orthodontic evaluation is recommended by age 7, but treatment can be done at any age. Adults can benefit too.

It varies depending on the case. On average, treatment lasts 12–24 months.

You may feel mild discomfort or pressure when braces are adjusted or new aligners are fitted, but it usually subsides within a few days.

Braces are fixed and highly effective for complex cases, while aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and more convenient for daily life.

You should avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods that can damage braces. Aligners allow you to eat normally since they are removable.
