Orthodontic treatment is a dental procedure that uses devices like braces to straighten teeth and correct bite problems. Orthodontic treatment can help improve the appearance of your teeth, and can also help protect your teeth, gums, and jaw joints.
Orthodontic treatment can help with:
Crooked teeth or teeth that stick out
-A bad bite
-A poorly aligned jaw
-Gaps between teeth
Problems with speaking, breathing, or chewing
Orthodontic treatment can reduce the risk of oral health issues like cavities, gum disease, and excessive wear (erosion). This is because improving the way your teeth fit together spreads biting pressure over all of your teeth.
