Understanding Orthodontic Treatment | TwentyOne Dental

[Mark]

Before beginning our journey into hidden aligners and lingual braces, it's essential to comprehend the basic principles of orthodontic treatments. Orthodontics is a distinct field of dentistry that focuses on restoring the alignment of the jaws and teeth straightening. The principal objective of orthodontics is to create a more harmonious and functional bite while also improving the appearance of your smile.

The traditional orthodontic techniques, which have been used for a long time, entail the fixation of brackets onto the teeth's front surfaces. The brackets are attached via wires and are often complemented by bright bands. Although they can effectively straighten teeth, they're apparent and could cause self-consciousness for patients, particularly those older.
