Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that involves moving teeth using a brace, which can be fixed to the teeth or removable.
An Orthodontist is a dentist who completes a further 3 years of postgraduate specialist training. In the UK, this title is awarded after a rigorous assessment process by the awarding university and the Royal College of Surgeons.
Orthodontic treatment is used to improve the appearance, position and function of crooked or abnormally arranged teeth. Rather than cover up crooked teeth with ceramic veneers that can be damaging, your own teeth can be cosmetically straightened.
Modern orthodontic braces can be invisible, and the time taken to straighten the teeth can be a lot quicker than you think.
