Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with facial growth, tooth development, and occlusion, as well as the prevention and correction of occlusal abnormalities. The main indications for orthodontic treatment are to improve oral function, aesthetics, and overall dental health.

The primary goals of orthodontic treatment are therefore to eliminate functional problems that may predispose a patient to TTM; promote eruption and alignment of displaced or impacted teeth; eliminate any trauma due to occlusion and/or displaced teeth and/or improve facial and dental aesthetics by aligning and leveling the teeth.
