Orthodontics
In simple terms, Orthodontics deals with correction of crooked teeth. Major advances in technology and materials have taken place leading to the following -
- Ceramic Brackets (tooth coloured)
- Lingual Orthodontics
- Mini Implants for orthodontic anchorage
- Orthodontics for cleft lip and palate patients
- Orthodontic preparation for corrective jaw surgery
Transparent invisible fibre braces can be given for esthetic purpose and they even achieve excellent results.
Now Orthodontic treatment is possible even in patients as old as 45 - 50 years provided the gum condition is good.
