What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry concerned with the correction of malocclusions (bad bites) that may cause crooked teeth and/or disproportionate jaw growth. Orthodontic treatment improves physical appearance and self confidence, in addition to providing a healthy functional bite that is more resistant to disease.
Orthodontists diagnose and correct malocclusions. Orthodontists fit orthodontic appliances, in particular braces, and may use other appliances to fix jaw and facial abnormalities. Orthodontics is a recognised specialty of the New Zealand Dental Council and orthodontists have undergone specialist training and additional qualifications.
