Overview
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment corrects irregularities and crowding in the teeth and jaw structure. Starting treatment for these issues as early as appropriate is important.
Using braces or clear aligners, the teeth are gradually moved into their planned position — resulting in both an aesthetic smile and healthy chewing function.
