What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontic treatments aim to correct the misalignment of teeth and jaws, thereby improving the function and appearance of your smile.

What problems does orthodontics correct?

Orthodontics can correct a variety of problems, including:

• Malocclusions (misalignment of the jaws)
• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Bite issues (crossbite, open bite, etc.)
• Protruding teeth (teeth that stick out)

Who is eligible for orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatments are suitable for patients of all ages. Children, teenagers, and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment to improve their dental alignment and oral health.

Why undergo orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is not just about aesthetics. It also helps to:

• Improve chewing function
• Prevent oral health problems (cavities, gum disease)
• Facilitate oral hygiene (brushing and flossing)
• Reduce the risk of dental injuries
• Promote better pronunciation and a harmonious smile

At what age should one undergo orthodontic treatment?

There is no age limit for starting orthodontic treatment. However, it is recommended to have an initial orthodontic consultation around the age of 7. At this age, the orthodontist can detect potential problems and determine the optimal time to start treatment. Treatments can be just as effective for teenagers and adults.
