Orthodontics is a specialty area of dentistry meaning "straight tooth".

By remodelling the bone, the teeth are moved & guided towards the right position.

How ?

By means of brackets or "braces" bonded to the teeth, an arch-wire is linked to all the brackets and creates a gentle force to the roots of the teeth and surrounding bone.

Due to its pliability this bone restructures itself and guides the teeth into the proper alignment.

These are  perfectly natural phenomena, controlled and directed by the orthodontist to enable the patient to achieve an attractive smile and a healthy functional bite.
