What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment corrects malocclusion of the teeth and associated dento-facial disharmonies.

ie.
!. It straightens the teeth.
2. Ensures that they bite together and thereby function properly.
3. It improves the appearance of the smile and proportions of the
face.

> Successful orthodontic treatment will create a beautiful smile for
you; a smile that will warm the hearts of people you meet and
increase your self-confidence. The importance of a beautiful
smile to your well being is not to be under estimated.
> Orthodontic treatment will align your teeth making them easier to
keep clean, helping prevent the onset of dental decay and
disease of the gums.
> By improving the way in which the teeth bite together,
orthodontic treatment can eliminate abnormal wear of the teeth
and alleviate facial pain.

Much of the orthodontists skill may be described as an art. This art is, however, built upon the solid foundation of an understanding of cranofacial biology, bio materials science and mechanics.
