About Ortho

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The technical term for these problems is "malocclusion, " which means "bad bite." The practice of orthodontics requires professional skill in the design, application, and control of corrective appliances to bring teeth, lips, and jaws into proper alignment and to achieve facial balance.
