About Orthodontic Treatment

• Orthodontics deals in correcting the teeth and
  jaw that are positioned unfittingly. Overlapped
  teeth or crooked teeth that do not fit together
  correctly are difficult to keep clean. These also
  bear the risk of early loss due to tooth decay
  and cause stress on gums and muscles. These
  problems often lead to headache, and TMJ syndrome
  moreover disfigured teeth also hamper ones
  appearance.

component, which include wires and/or brackets.
Bands are used around teeth to act as anchors and
provide strength.

control the habits of thumb sucking or tongue
