Orthodontists are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of misaligned teeth and jaws. They focus on correcting issues such as overcrowding, gaps, bite problems, and jaw irregularities through a variety of orthodontic treatments. The most common treatments include braces, clear aligners, and retainers, which gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. By improving the alignment of the teeth and jaws, orthodontists not only enhance the appearance of a patient's smile but also contribute to better overall oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and excessive wear.
They address both functional and aesthetic concerns, correcting bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites, which can interfere with speech, chewing, and the long-term health of teeth and gums. Using advanced diagnostic tools such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging, orthodontists create precise treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. Orthodontic treatment often requires a multi-step process, involving regular check-ups and adjustments. With increasing demand for more discreet treatment options, orthodontists now offer clear aligners as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Their work not only enhances the appearance of a smile but also improves the function and health of the teeth and jaw, ensuring long-lasting benefits.
