01What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that ensures the ideal alignment of the teeth and jaw. Crowding, gaps, jaw discrepancies and bite problems are corrected with orthodontic treatment, creating a mouth structure that is both aesthetic and functional.
02Who Needs Orthodontic Treatment?
- People with crowded or gapped teeth
- Those with a mismatch between the upper and lower jaw
- Those who have trouble chewing because their teeth do not close properly
- Teenagers and adults who want an aesthetic smile
- Those with functional problems such as speech disorders or mouth breathing
