Orthro

What is Orthro?

Orthodontics, often referred to as "Ortho," is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating irregularities in teeth and jaw alignment. Orthodontic treatments aim to correct issues such as crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and other malocclusions (misaligned bites). Common orthodontic solutions include braces, clear aligners (like Invisalign), retainers, and other appliances that guide teeth into their proper position over time.

Orthodontic care not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also improves oral functionality, such as chewing and speaking. By aligning teeth and correcting bite issues, orthodontics helps maintain better oral hygiene, reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and prevents long-term complications caused by misaligned teeth or jaws.

What are the benefits?

Dental fillings offer several important benefits for oral health and functionality. They effectively halt the progression of tooth decay by sealing off the cavity, preventing further damage or infection. By restoring the tooth’s structure, fillings improve chewing efficiency and eliminate discomfort caused by decay or sensitivity.

From a cosmetic perspective, modern tooth-colored fillings, such as composite resin, blend seamlessly with natural teeth, enhancing the appearance of your smile. Fillings also protect the tooth from additional decay or weakening, preserving its strength and functionality over time. This simple and cost-effective treatment promotes long-term dental health and helps maintain your overall well-being.
