Orthodontic dentistry focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve both function and appearance, often using treatments like braces, Invisalign, and retainers.
Invisalign, a popular modern alternative to traditional metal braces, uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift the teeth into proper alignment. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing, making them a convenient choice for many adults and teens.
After orthodontic treatment, retainers play a crucial role in maintaining results by holding the teeth in their new positions. There are two main types of retainers: removable and fixed. Removable retainers are worn overnight or as recommended by the orthodontist, while fixed retainers are bonded to the back of the teeth for more constant support. Through these treatments, orthodontics not only improves the aesthetics of a smile but also contributes to better oral health by making it easier to clean and maintain properly aligned teeth.
