Orthodontics focuses on teeth alignment and correction of jaw position to improve your smile, oral health and confidence. Your dentist at Million Smiles may advise orthodontic treatment to enhance your smile - this may involve metal braces (fixed appliances), clear braces, invisible braces, and removable appliances. These devices correct your bite, close gaps, and bring teeth and the mouth into alignment. Misaligned or crooked teeth are prone to periodontal disease because they are harder to clean, and can eventually lead to tooth loss and lost self-confidence.
