Orthodontics, is the
speciality of dentistry that is concerned with the treatment of
malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth
irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic
treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the
control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is
better defined as “dentofacial orthopaedics”. Orthodontic treatment can
be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving
the general appearance of patient’s teeth.
Braces are mostly used
in orthodontic treatment for straightening teeth or closing gaps to
achieve a perfect smile. Braces can do wonders for your self-confidence
and self-esteem. By “straightening” your teeth, it helps to improve your
smile and makes you feel good about yourself and your appearance. There
will also be an overall improvement in your dental health as it will be
easier to brush teeth that are well-aligned rather than those which are
“crooked” and crowded together.
