Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that studies, prevents, diagnoses and corrects alterations in the position of the teeth and jaw bones. Its main objective is to achieve a harmonious smile, improve chewing function and facilitate proper oral hygiene.
Brackets, clear aligners or other orthodontic devices are used to move teeth to their ideal position. In addition to esthetics, orthodontics helps prevent bite problems, uneven tooth wear, speech or chewing difficulties and jaw pain.
