What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry concerned with the treatment and improvement of crooked/crowded teeth and bite abnormalities. Its aim is to provide an attractive smile and a healthy and comfortable bite.
Fixed appliances are the most commonly used braces today, because they allow accurate positioning of the teeth.
The braces are securely fixed onto the teeth and cannot be removed by the patient. There are various systems available ranging from the standard metal brackets to clear or aesthetic brackets.
