What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities to improve both function and appearance. It uses appliances such as braces or clear aligners to gradually reposition teeth, improve bite function, and enhance overall oral health. 

Treatment duration depends on case complexity, the type of appliance used, patient compliance, and growth stage, with most orthodontic treatments typically ranging from 12 to 24 months.

Common Orthodontic Problems

cross bite

Crossbite and Open Bite

Spacing concerns may affect both appearance and bite distribution.

gaps between teeth

Gaps Between Teeth

Improper bite relationships can result in jaw strain, uneven chewing pressure, and long-term functional issues.

crowded teeth

Crowded Teeth

overbite

Overbite

Excessive overlap of upper teeth over lower teeth can cause gum trauma and accelerated tooth wear.

underbite

Underbite

Lower teeth extend beyond upper teeth, affecting facial balance and bite efficiency.
