What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry that is concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face.

Orthodontists specialize in the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth development, crowding, influence of the soft tissues and/or a mismatch in jaw relationships.

The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to make the best of your natural teeth. Orthodontic treatment also includes treating and guiding various aspects of dental and facial growth.

Nearly one million people in the UK started having orthodontics last year and in our experience teenagers and adults more than ever want treatment.
