Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and repair of tooth position irregularities as well as the correction of a bad bite (occlusion). An orthodontist can straighten or reposition teeth, helping you to enhance the appearance and function of your teeth. As a result, orthodontics can assist in the long-term functionality of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
Teeth problems can be inherited or caused by the following factors given below:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Ectopic teeth
- Extra or missing teeth (hypodontia)
- Thumb sucking
- Dental diseases
- Premature tooth loss
- Accidents or trauma
