Orthodontic treatments focus on correcting irregularities in the teeth and jaws, primarily for alignment, function, and aesthetics. Common types include:
Braces – Traditional metal or ceramic brackets with wires to gradually move teeth.
Clear Aligners – Like Invisalign, these are custom-made, removable trays that straighten teeth over time.
Retainers – Used after braces or aligners to maintain teeth positions.
Palatal Expanders – Devices that widen the upper jaw in growing children.
Orthognathic Surgery – For severe jaw misalignment not correctable by braces alone.
