Orthodontists

Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons�improving the general appearance of patients' teeth and face for cosmetic reasons�but treatment is often prescribed for practical reasons, providing the patient with a functionally improved bite (occlusion).

If the main goal of the treatment is dental displacement, most commonly a fixed multibracket therapy is used. In this case orthodontic wires are inserted into dental braces, which can be made from stainless steel or a more esthetic ceramic material.
