Orthodontics literally means “straight teeth”, a branch of dentistry that diagnoses, prevent and treat the problems in alignment of teeth and jaws.

Most people think that orthodontics are meant for growing teens. In fact, orthodontic treatment is meant for anyone who desire a more aesthetically appealing profile. Many people tend to put it off til later. Well, if you do it sooner than later, you’ll enjoy the benefits of an attractive smile earlier in your life.

The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the orthodontic problem that requires correction, growth and tissue response to treatment as well as the level of patient cooperation during their treatment.
