Many individuals have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will fix the teeth or move them into a better position. This can work on their appearance and the manner in which the teeth bite together, while likewise making them easier to clean.

Certain people have upper front teeth that stick out and look unattractive. These ‘unmistakable’ teeth are bound to be harmed, however orthodontic treatment can move them back into line. Or on the other hand the manner in which the upper and lower jaws meet can make teeth look unattractive and lead to an inaccurate bite. Orthodontic treatment might have the option to address both of these problems.
