Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the alignment of teeth and jaws. It is used in the correction of malocclusions, which are misalignments of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment may involve the use of braces or other appliances to align the teeth and improve their appearance and function. Orthodontics plays an important role in maintaining good oral health as well as improving a person's smile and facial appearance. Orthodontic treatment can also help improve breathing, speech, and chewing.
