Orthodontists utilize braces, retainers, and bands, among other permanent and removable dental devices, to move teeth in the mouth. They treat dental issues like:
• Crooked teeth
• Crowded teeth or teeth that are too far apart
• Jaw misalignment
• Bite abnormalities, such as an overbite or underbite
Orthodontic treatment is meant to improve a patient's bite. Teeth in the jaw that are straight and well-spaced will align with opposing teeth. You can eat, chew, and speak properly with a healthy bite.
