Orthodontics
Bringing teeth into the correct position in the jaw not only makes your smile more beautiful but is also essential for healthy teeth and gums.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with correcting the improper position of teeth and jaws. Besides aesthetic significance, proper tooth arrangement contributes to better chewing function, speech, proper bite, and long-term health of teeth and gums. So we can say that properly positioned teeth are not just a matter of aesthetics but are the foundation of oral health.
Who Can Wear Orthodontic Appliances?
In short – everyone who needs it. Orthodontics is not reserved only for children. Although it is ideal to start in childhood, when the jaws are still developing, it is never too late to create healthier and more beautiful teeth. Today, more and more adults are deciding to straighten their teeth.
Regardless of whether you have gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, poor jaw position and relationship, or just want to improve your smile, there is a solution that is tailored just for you.
Also, orthodontics is often a procedure that optimally prepares teeth and jaws for later surgical or prosthetic intervention.
Types of Orthodontic Appliances We Offer
Removable Orthodontic Appliances
Mainly used in children while teeth and jaws are still developing. They are easy to remove and clean, and help in proper shaping of jaws and face.
Fixed Orthodontic Appliances (Traditional and Aesthetic)
The most commonly seen variant – brackets and wires that move teeth into the correct position. Today they can be metal, white (ceramic), or even almost invisible.
Retention Appliances
After completed therapy, teeth must "get used" to their new position. Retention appliances serve to preserve the result and prevent teeth from returning to their old place.
