What is Orthodontic Treatment? What Are the Different Types?
Orthodontic treatment can correct issues such as misaligned teeth, protruding front teeth, crowded or crooked teeth, and bite problems, restoring confidence in your smile. Today, there are various types of braces available to suit individual needs, including ceramic braces, metal braces, Damon braces, and clear aligners (Invisalign).
What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a specialized dental procedure that enhances both aesthetics and oral health. It addresses misalignment issues, overcrowding, and improper bites that can hinder effective oral hygiene and chewing function.
At Dream Smile, our skilled orthodontists have extensive experience and a track record of successful cases. We also specialize in corrective orthodontics for patients requiring adjustments from previous treatments.
