Orthodontics

Dental braces are used to repair crooked and crowded teeth or with abnormal distances that spoil the beauty of the smile. But, in addition to the aesthetic reasons, the medical ones are more important. Crowded teeth are difficult to clean leading to gingivitis and caries, improper occlusion (bite) causes tooth abrasion, mobility or even tooth loss over time, the temporomandibular joint can be affected and joint pain or chewing food can be difficult over time. .

When is the time to start orthodontic treatment? Orthodontic problems are easier to correct if they are discovered early (during childhood), have a better and faster result so treatment costs can be lower in the early stages of the abnormality.

Types of braces:
