Mahendra Orthodontic and Dental Clinic

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting and improving the alignment of teeth and jaws. It involves the use of various appliances, such as braces and aligners, to gradually move the teeth into their proper positions. Orthodontic treatment is commonly sought to address issues like crooked teeth, overcrowding, overbites, underbites, and gaps between teeth. By realigning the teeth and jaws, orthodontics aims to improve both the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the mouth. The process usually begins with a thorough examination and evaluation of the patient's oral health, followed by the creation of a customized treatment plan. Regular check-ups and adjustments are necessary throughout the treatment period to ensure optimal progress. With the help of orthodontics, individuals can achieve a straighter and healthier smile, leading to improved confidence and overall oral well-being.
