Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that concentrates on diagnosing dental and facial irregularities, caused by misaligned, crowded or misshapen teeth. Traditional braces are made from metal brackets and wires, which are used to gradually move the teeth into place over a longer period of time. This treatment is very successful and is a common option for children and teenagers. A more discrete option for straightening teeth is Invisalign. This is a virtually invisible clear aligner, custom made to gradually move the teeth into the intended position. Treatment duration is different from patient. Your specialist orthodontist will advise your treatment length based upon your condition.
