What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics involves the diagnosis and treatment of all problems associated with an improper bite. For example, if your teeth are missing , misaligned , crowded or split or have not developed properly as a result of an injury to your teeth or jaw or thumb sucking or any other reason, this may be the cause of an improper bite (or malocclusion). Malocclusion may affect the person’s physical appearance, the speech, the self-confidence and wellbeing leading to depression in some cases.

We diagnose, prevent and treat malocclusions. We can bring your teeth together and straighten them into harmony and correct any functional problem with your bite.

Our options to straighten your teeth range from include:

• ClearCorrect™, clear, practically invisible, custom-made removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth as you wear them
• Cfast™ clear braces that can be placed on the front of teeth (labial braces) or the inside of the teeth (lingual braces)
• Ceramic braces
• Metal braces

Orthodontics also treats temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or dysfunctions. Pain or stiffness in the muscle around the jaw area, dislocated jaw or locking of the jaw are examples of TMJ disorders. We also conduct detailed analysis and treatment of TMJ disorders of different complexity and use our 3D digital TMJ software for diagnosis achieving highest levels of accuracy.
