Orthodontics is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of dental and facial disorders. This area of expertise offers solutions to people with malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment usually involves the use of corrective tools such as braces. The use of these corrective tools is as follows:
- Straightening teeth
- Correcting closing defects
- Closing the gaps
- Aligning teeth and lips properly
Orthodontic treatment helps the jaw development in young children and helps the teeth to be in the correct positions, and in adults, it provides the correction of the existing crowding and closing disorders.
Most people may have problems such as clenching, crowding or irregular gaps in their teeth. Some disorders can cause problems in terms of aesthetics, as well as problems in speaking and chewing. Not all disorders are genetic.
