What is Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing and correcting misaligned teeth, improper bites and irregular jaw positions. Crooked or crowded teeth not only affect appearance but can also impact chewing, speech and overall oral health. Orthodontic treatment uses appliances such as braces or aligners to gently move teeth into their correct positions, creating a balanced bite and a harmonious smile. Modern orthodontics is comfortable, precise and highly effective, offering options suitable for children, teens and adults.

At Dream Smiles, orthodontic care combines advanced technology with an expert smile-design approach to help patients achieve a straighter, healthier and more confident smile.
