Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that fixes the teeth and jaws that are positioned incorrectly. Crooked or misaligned teeth are tougher to clean. Also, teeth that are not well fitted together are more prone to tooth decay, tooth loss, and other dental diseases. Sometimes, misaligned teeth can be the cause of headaches, TMJ syndrome, and even bodily pain, such as the neck, shoulder, and back. Orthodontic treatments have several advantages when done correctly. Your child will have healthier teeth and gums, better-looking teeth, and durability.
