What is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is a dental area of expertise that involves the development, protection, and correction of tooth, bite, and jaw irregularities. Orthodontists have additional training in facial abnormalities and jaw disorders. The Indian Board of Orthondontics(IBO) ,recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven.

Different Types of Braces:

• Metal SELF-LIGATING(3M), CERAMIC SELF-LIGATING BRACES(TOOTH COLOUR), that are bonded to the teeth
• Lingual brackets that attach to the back of the teeth and are hidden from view

Note: Wires are used in all three types to move the teeth to the desired position.
