Orthodontics Guelph

Orthodontics, also known as orthodontia or dentofacial orthopedics, is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. It aims to improve both the function and the appearance of the smile, as well as overall oral health.

Orthodontists are dental specialists who receive additional training beyond general dentistry to manage various types of tooth and jaw alignment issues. Using techniques such as braces, aligners, and other corrective appliances, they help guide teeth into their ideal positions.

Orthodontic care can benefit people of all ages - from children who are still growing to adults looking to enhance their smile and confidence. Early evaluation and proper treatment planning can lead to long-term oral health improvements.
