A straight smile is not only visually appealing but also plays a vital role in maintaining good oral health. Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. At Dr. Sneha’s Dental Care, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to help patients of all ages achieve a healthier, straighter smile.
Why Orthodontics is Important
Misaligned teeth, also known as malocclusion, can lead to a host of dental issues, including:
Difficulty in Chewing or Speaking: Misaligned teeth can make it harder to bite, chew food, or even speak properly.
Increased Risk of Tooth Decay and Gum Disease: Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, leading to an increased risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
Jaw Pain and Discomfort: An improper bite can cause stress on the jaw, leading to discomfort, pain, and even TMJ disorders.
Aesthetic Concerns: Straightening your teeth improves not only your smile but also your overall facial symmetry.
Orthodontic treatments can correct these issues, improving both the function and appearance of your teeth and jaws.
