Orthodontics is a specialization in dentistry that deals with straightening of teeth. The straightening is achieved by moving the natural teeth by applying pressure on them.

Previously the system used metallic (silver colored) bands placed on teeth which were then joined together by wires and it was used on children only. The next development was the introduction of tooth-colored wires and bands for the more cosmetically conscious patient. And the latest development was the introduction of removable invisible aligners.

These are elastic trays which can be fitted on teeth. These trays are changed every 14 days and with the help of elasticity, the teeth are moved into the desired positions. Also, today orthodontics is not limited by age. People from all age groups can freely go through the treatment without any complications.

However, even today the traditional metallic braces continue to be popular in children. Ceramic braces and invisible aligners are generally popular in adults who cannot or don’t want to wear the metallic braces.

Orthodontics is a real boon for people who have misaligned teeth for it helps to move the natural teeth into position with nothing artificial on them. No doubt, the process is time taking but if properly done and maintained the results will be permanent.
