WHAT IS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

Orthodontic treatment (braces) is a dental method that uses orthodontic appliances (such as brackets or clear aligners) to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, creating a balanced bite, enhancing facial harmony, and improving chewing function.

Orthodontic treatment not only straightens teeth for a more attractive smile, but also helps reduce tooth wear, improve pronunciation, lower the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, gum inflammation, and jaw misalignment—delivering long-term aesthetic and oral health benefits.
