Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a special section of dentistry that deals with deformities and abnormalities of dentition, facial structures and variations in their functions. The objectives of orthodontic treatment are to improve the efficiency of the masticatory apparatus, and the ratio between the two jaws. This will lead to a change in the overall appearance of the face, the profile of the lips, the ratio among the three partitions of the face.
The achievement of such results is through the use of multifunctional apparatus, braces and removable appliances.
These braces are used to treat various orthodontic problems. Braces are:
