Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that treats malocclusion, a condition in which the teeth are not correctly positioned. This results in an improper bite. An orthodontist specializes in making the teeth straight and correcting the occlusion.
An orthodontist can carry out work that aims to achieve the following:
- Closing wide gaps between the teeth
- Aligning the teeth
- Straightening crooked teeth
- Improving speech or chewing ability
- Boosting the long-term health of gums and teeth
- Preventing long-term excessive wear or trauma of the teeth
- Treating an improper bite
- Treatment can improve the appearance of the teeth, but it can also lead to better chewing and speech function and help protect teeth from damage or decay, in some cases.
- To achieve these goals, the orthodontist uses a range of medical dental devices, including headgear, plates, and braces.
