Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth. You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating “bad bites” (malocclusion). Common orthodontic treatments include braces, clear aligners and retainers.
The way your teeth fit together has a significant impact on your oral health. By improving the way your upper and lower teeth meet, you can reduce your risk for a host of oral health issues, including cavities, gum disease and excessive wear (erosion).
In most cases, orthodontists perform this type of treatment. An orthodontist is a doctor who receives two to three years of additional training after graduating from dental school. They focus on improving your bite. They don’t perform general dentistry treatments like fillings, crowns or bridges.
There are several treatments that fall under the specialty of orthodontics. Some of the most common include:
Clear Aligners (also known as) are transparent trays made of special material that are used to straighten teeth just like braces. They use gentle and constant force to move the teeth in the required position without going through the hassles of metal wires and brackets. They are custom-made for each patient through a digital scan.
Invisible braces may not be suitable for all misalignments. They are well suited for treating overbites, crowded or widely spaced teeth, or Invisible braces are a great option for adults and older teenagers, but if you have baby teeth remaining, traditional metal braces are the best way to straighten your teeth.

Dental braces (teeth clip treatment) for teeth are appliances that are used to align or straighten the teeth and guide the teeth to the correct position. They are made up of wires, brackets, and bands. Dental Braces aid in correcting irregular teeth positioning, jaw correction, improvement in chewing, and smile aesthetics. Your dentist is the best person to guide you on treatment options and modalities depending upon dentition.
