What Is Orthodontics?

In much the same way as doctors choose to specialize in cardiology and neurology, dentists can also choose to specialize. Orthodontics is a dental specialty that aims to prevent, diagnose, and treat facial and dental irregularities, such as malocclusions (bad bites).

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is primarily used to prevent and correct “bite” irregularities. Several factors may contribute to such irregularities, including genetic factors, the early loss of primary (baby) teeth, and damaging oral habits (such as thumb sucking and developmental problems).

Oral Hygiene

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining excellent oral hygiene and diagnosing potential problems, but they are not a “fix-all” solution. Thorough oral homecare routines should be practiced daily to avoid future dental problems.
