What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaw alignment. It deals with:
– Crowded or crooked teeth
– Gaps between teeth
– Overbite, underbite, crossbite
– Jaw growth discrepancies
– Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TME)

Proper alignment is essential not only for aesthetics, but for chewing function, speech clarity and long-term oral health.

Retainers: Why They're Essential

After active treatment, teeth can drift back to their original position. Retainers preserve your results and protect your investment.

  • Fixed retainers — bonded wires behind the front teeth
  • Removable retainers — transparent trays worn at night
Without retention, your smile may slowly relapse over time.

Who Is NOT Suitable for Orthodontics?

Some conditions must be stabilised before starting treatment:

Untreated gum disease

Active periodontal issues must be managed first to protect teeth and bone.

Severe decay or infection

Restorative or endodontic care is required before moving teeth safely.

Uncontrolled diabetes

Systemic conditions should be stabilised to support healthy healing.

Poor oral hygiene habits

Consistent brushing and interdental cleaning are essential during treatment.

At Dr Smile, we perform a full-mouth screening before any orthodontic treatment.
