Orthodontics is devoted to bringing teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and creating a beautiful smile. Straight teeth are healthier teeth because they are easier to clean and are more likely to last your lifetime.
Orthodontists are qualified dentists, who obtain at least two additional years of education in an accredited orthodontic residency program. Orthodontics is about tooth and facial movement. Orthodontists diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists can improve most tooth and jaw alignment problems at any age.
According to the American Association of Orthodontics, it has been clinically proven that a beautiful smile leads to higher self-esteem. A person's self-esteem often improves as orthodontic treatment brings teeth, lips and face into proportion.
