What is Orthodontic Treatment?
It is a branch of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents, and treats crooked teeth and misaligned jaw relationships.
Why do teeth become crooked and how are they treated?
When the size of the teeth does not match the size of the jaw, the teeth become crooked or spaced out to fit into the jaw. In cases of dental and skeletal disorders like these, orthodontic treatment is applied to bring the teeth back to their ideal alignment and bite.
Can orthodontic treatment be done at any age?
There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. However, the treatment planning and duration may vary depending on age. In recent years, adult orthodontics has become more common worldwide. The use of porcelain brackets and clear aligners has minimized aesthetic concerns, which is a positive development for individuals’ social lives.
