Orthodontics Abroad

What is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatment involves using braces, aligners, or other appliances to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, improving both the appearance and function of your smile.

Straight teeth are easier to clean, reduce wear and tear, improve bite function, and boost confidence. Modern orthodontics offers various discreet options including clear aligners and ceramic braces, making treatment more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before.
