Orthodontics explained

Orthodontics assesses the alignment of the teeth and the relationship between the jaws. Fixed braces, wires and removable appliances may be used depending on age and clinical findings.

The aim is not limited to appearance. Tooth position can also affect cleaning, bite function and the way chewing forces are distributed.

Orthodontic care at the clinic is planned and followed by a dentist who holds a PhD in Orthodontics.
