Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with straightening of teeth. Earlier the branch was limited to children and young adults but today it has broadened its horizons to include patients of all age groups.

Earlier the appliances used for tooth movement were either removable appliances with wires and clasps or fixed braces. Older adults found it slightly embarrassing to wear these. This problem has now been overcome by the introduction of clear aligners. These are transparent plastic trays that are worn over the teeth and are practically invisible. They are removable and need to be periodically changed. They help to align teeth without the use of wires and bands. Today even fixed braces come with an option of tooth-colored bands in addition to the conventional silver colored braces for cosmetically conscious patients.

Planning for tooth alignment is extremely important. Sometimes even some teeth need to be extracted to create space for tooth alignment. Hence planning is very important so that the entire space created by extraction is covered during tooth alignment.

Orthodontic treatment is getting very common. With treatment options to suit people of all age groups, more and more people want to opt for treatment.
