Irregular alignment of the teeth and jaws has become very common nowadays. The term “orthodontics” can be divided into two Greek words – “orthos” which means appropriate or straight and “dontics” which represents teeth. Orthodontics is the study of the practice of straightening misaligned teeth or malocclusions.
It is a dentistry speciality that can support the diagnosis, management, prevention, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misalignment of bite patterns. It is also helpful for the modification of facial growth. A typical solution for incorrectly positioned teeth (malocclusion) takes from one to two years, but the braces can be adjusted each four to 10 weeks by specialists which are also known as orthodontists, At Shanti Dental Clinic our skilled dental specialists are experts in prevention, diagnosis as well as treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
