OrthodonticsOrthodontics is a branch of dentistry that ensures that the teeth and jaw structure are in the ideal position and offers aesthetic and functional solutions. Problems such as crowding, separation, bite disorders and jaw stenosis can be transformed into a healthy, smooth and aesthetic smile with orthodontic treatments.
