About Orthodontic Services
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention and correction of irregularly placed teeth using braces and, when necessary, surgical interventions. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to align teeth properly, improve chewing efficiency, and enhance overall dental health and appearance.
Role of an Orthodontist
An Orthodontist is a dentist trained to diagnose, prevent, and treat teeth and jaw irregularities.
They correct existing misalignments and identify malocclusion problems that may affect chewing efficiency and oral function.
Their treatment helps improve both function and smile aesthetics.

1. Braces Treatment
What are Braces?
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth. They help position the teeth properly with respect to the bite and improve overall dental health.
Types of Braces:
A) Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most effective and affordable option.
B) Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets, blending naturally with teeth and offering a less noticeable appearance.
C) Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces do not require elastic or metal ties. The brackets themselves hold the wire in place.
