What Exactly is Orthodontics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The oldest of the dental specialties, orthodontics is a revered branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental malocclusions and facial irregularities. Since its inception, orthodontics has been instrumental in enhancing smiles and improving oral functionality for millions. Over time, as dental science evolved, so did orthodontic techniques and tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prime objective of orthodontics is to ensure optimal alignment of teeth and jaws, enhancing the symmetry of one’s facial structure. Modern orthodontics offers a blend of traditional practices and innovative technology, ensuring more efficient, less painful, and aesthetically pleasing treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
