What is orthodontics in dentistry?
Orthodontics is the practice of correcting malocclusion, or misaligned teeth. Orthodontists specialize in re-aligning your teeth so they look better, fit well together, and don’t cause oral health issues for you.
While it may seem like crooked teeth are merely a cosmetic issue, misaligned teeth can be the cause of many problems. These problems include TMJ issues, tooth decay in hard-to-reach areas, cracked teeth, and more.
