What is Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on straightening teeth, correcting bites, and improving jaw alignment.

Common issues like overbites, underbites, crowding, and spacing can affect both function and appearance. These problems may be inherited or caused by habits like thumb-sucking, early tooth loss, or injury. If left untreated, they can lead to speech and chewing difficulties, tooth wear, and self-esteem concerns.

Signs you might need orthodontic care include crooked teeth, bite problems, or trouble chewing or speaking. With the right treatment, orthodontics can restore balance and give you a healthier, more confident smile.
