  1. Orthodontics is a dentist who’s specialized in the field of malocclusions, or irregularities in your teeth and jaw.
    Treatment can be asthetic, as to help straighten someones teeth, or the treatment can be more practical, as to help someone fix their jaw so that they can properly use it.
    Most common treatments we see on a daily basis are braces and retainers.

  3. Orthodontics (or orthodontia) is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions, which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.
