Orthodontics also includes treating and controlling various aspects of facial growth (dento-facial orthopaedics) and the shape and development of the jaw.

When teeth don’t line up properly it can cause problems such as uneven wear on teeth and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. The corrections are done with braces which can be Metal, Clear (Teeth colour), invisible which can be lingual fixed or Clear/Invisible trays.
