Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that aims to correct crowding and bite problems between the jaws. Correct tooth positioning improves appearance, supports chewing function and makes oral hygiene easier.

Treatment may be planned with conventional braces, aesthetic brackets or clear aligners in suitable cases. The choice depends on age, tooth movement needs, bite relationship and patient compliance.

Regular controls and oral hygiene are very important during orthodontic treatment. After active treatment, a retention phase is planned to protect the new tooth positions.
