Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with facial growth, development of the dentition, and occlusion together with the prevention and correction of occlusal anomalies. The main indications for orthodontic treatment are to improve oral function, aesthetics, and general dental health. The main aims of orthodontic treatment are, therefore, to eliminate functional problems that may predispose a patient to TMD; encourage the eruption and alignment of displaced or impacted teeth; remove any trauma from occlusion and/or displaced teeth, and/or improve facial and dental aesthetics by aligning and leveling the teeth.
