Orthodontic treatment is a dental procedure that straightens misaligned teeth and fixes bite problems. It involves using braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic devices to move teeth into the correct position. This treatment improves not just appearance but also dental health and overall oral function.
Common Types of Orthodontic Treatment:
- Metal braces : Traditional braces with metal brackets and wires.
- Ceramic braces : Tooth-colored braces that blend with natural teeth.
- Lingual braces : Braces placed behind the teeth, making them less visible.
- Clear aligners : Removable, nearly invisible trays like Invisalign.
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for all age groups, including children, teenagers, and adults. It helps correct dental issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. Depending on the severity, treatment usually lasts between 1 to 3 years.
