Dental Patient Education: Orthodontics ( Video )

Braces work by gently exerting pressure on your teeth over time and moving them into their desired positions.

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting and aligning the teeth and jaws for optimal oral health and improved aesthetics. It involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, commonly known as malocclusions.

Orthodontic treatment typically involves the use of dental appliances, such as braces, aligners, and retainers, to gradually move the teeth into their correct positions. These appliances apply gentle, controlled forces to shift the teeth and jaws, allowing them to align properly over time.

Braces are the most common orthodontic appliance and consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires. The wires exert pressure on the teeth, guiding them into the desired positions. Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than in the past, thanks to advancements in orthodontic technology.

Another popular option for orthodontic treatment is clear aligners, such as Invisalign. These are removable, transparent trays that gradually move the teeth into alignment. Clear aligners are a popular choice among adults and teenagers who prefer a more discreet and convenient treatment option.

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teenagers. Adults can also benefit from orthodontic intervention, although their treatment may take longer due to the maturity of their teeth and jaws.

Orthodontics not only improves the appearance of the smile but also plays a significant role in overall oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental problems.
