What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals directly with correcting teeth and jaws that are improperly positioned. Crooked teeth are an issue that makes many patients feel insecure. When teeth are not in the right place, it can detract from one's overall appearance. Other problems can also develop later on in life if patients' teeth are not straightened, such as:

  • Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene
  • Higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Increased stress on jaw muscles that can lead to headaches and other oral issues

When you allow the team at Nirvana Dental to straighten your smile, you'll benefit from a healthier mouth, and your teeth are more likely to last a lifetime. Plus, you get the added boost of confidence a great smile brings to anyone.

Whether you visit a dentist or an orthodontist for orthodontic treatment, there are a variety of services that these oral health professionals can provide to straighten your teeth, ranging from common treatments you know to specialized appliances that are only used for certain cases. The most typical options include:

  • Traditional braces
  • Aligners, such as Invisalign®
  • Removable retainers
  • Headgear
