Orthodontist is a specialist that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of dental and facial irregularities occurring from:
– A misaligned bite or malocclusion
– An underbite or overbite
– Missing or extra teeth
– Crooked or crowded teeth
– Misaligned or incorrect jaw position
Most of these issues are commonly corrected using braces, which are made from wires and springs attached to little metal plates or a plastic mold. The brace applies force to the teeth a little at a time and moves the teeth to their normal position for better function and appearance of the teeth making you overall feel better.
