Great smiles begin with great attention to oral care.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosis, prevention, interception, guidance and correction of dental and skeletal irregularities.
Orthodontist is a specialist who has knowledge to consider all possibilities such as age, jaw imbalances, difference in the size of your teeth and more. They are the best person to know what to use and when to use according to your dental needs.
