Orthodontic treatment is a branch of dentistry that deals with correcting teeth and jaws that are not properly positioned.

Orthodontists and some general dentists design and fit corrective devices like braces, clear aligners, expander plates, and headgear to help bring the teeth or jaw into alignment.

Well-aligned, straight teeth may be desired for aesthetic reasons, but, more importantly, they generally indicate an overall healthier mouth. 

Misaligned teeth and jaws can be related to uneven tooth wear, gum problems, breathing difficulty, poor oral hygiene (due to hard-to-clean teeth), speech development, and damage of the jaw joint. 

Orthodontic treatment can often deliver a smile that not only addresses these issues but helps you (or your child) feel more confident.
