Orthodontic dentistry focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaw irregularities. Common treatments include braces, clear aligners, retainers, and other dental appliances that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Orthodontic care not only improves the appearance of the smile but also enhances bite function, speech, and long-term oral health. It is suitable for children, teens, and adults who want a healthier, straighter smile.
