ORTHODONTICS is the use of wires to align crooked teeth and to close gaps between teeth.
Orthodontic treatment brings the entire face into proportion.
Crooked teeth, rotated teeth, spaces between teeth, proclined teeth can all be corrected with the help of braces.
Now, with newer technology, the placement of wires is behind the teeth called "Lingual ortho or Invisible Braces".
Braces is not limited only to children, though the ideal age of starting treatment is after 8 to 10 years of age. Adults can use newer options like ceramic braces, lingual or invisible braces. (The wire is placed behind the teeth and therefore not visible to other people)
Nowadays the use of aligners like INVISALIGN is greatly desired as the treatment of choice.
