Orthodontics
Is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting the alignment and positioning of the teeth and jaws. This involves using various treatments, such as braces, aligners, and other orthodontic appliances, to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health. Orthodontic treatment aims to achieve proper alignment of the teeth for better function and aesthetics, as well as to prevent or address problems like crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
