MDS (Ortho Dontics)

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects improperly positioned teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment deals primarily with the diagnosis, prevention and correction of mal positioned teeth and malformed jaws. Crooked teeth as well as the teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay or periodontal disease.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth and a more pleasing appearance due to proper positioning of teeth, which ultimately results in a beautiful smile, pleasing personality and higher self-confidence. The subject in totality is called Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics. Specialist Dental Surgeons dealing with these kinds of treatments are known as Orthodontists.
