Orthodontics is the medical specialty that focuses on correcting the misalignment of the jaws and teeth in the mouth. In addition to being more difficult to clean, teeth that are not properly aligned or that do not fit well may be more susceptible to problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. It is also possible that improper alignment can generate tension on the muscles and teeth that are used for chewing, which can result in headaches as well as pain in the back or shoulders.

Orthodontic treatment has the potential to improve the look of your smile in addition to improving your dental health. Your teeth may also be able to survive for a much longer period, which will result in a smile that will continue to look stunning for the rest of your life.
