Orthodontic treatment is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. It's not just about aesthetics; a properly aligned bite improves oral health, speech, and chewing function.

Conditions Addressed by Orthodontics:

• Crowded Teeth: When there's not enough space in your jaw for all your teeth to erupt properly, they become crowded or misaligned.
• Gapped Teeth: Excessive space between teeth can be caused by missing teeth, a large jawbone, or tongue thrusting habits.
• Open Bite: When your upper and lower front teeth don't touch when you close your mouth.
• Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth instead of outside.
