Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of malposition of teeth and improper mutual position of the upper and lower jaws.
The task of orthodontic treatment is to set your teeth into proper occlusal relationship. At the same time the jaws are moved into proper intermaxillary relationship, which solves the problems with the joints and improves our overall system for chewing. Orthodontics has a protective role, because improperly placed teeth can cause problems during brushing, which makes them more prone to caries and periodontal diseases.
The time set aside for an orthodontic treatment has multiple benefits in the long run. In addition to aesthetic and functional improvements, as well as its preventive role, psychological improvement also plays an important role. It is important to emphasize that orthodontic treatment can be conducted in all age groups from early childhood to adulthood.
