Braces are dental tools that help correct problems with your teeth, like crowding, crooked teeth, or teeth that are out of alignment. Many people get braces when they’re teenagers, but adults get them too. As you wear them, braces slowly straighten and align your teeth so you have a normal bite. Some people get braces to adjust their beautiful smiles.
If you have crooked teeth and/or a misaligned bite (an underbite or overbite), there are a variety of treatments that can help straighten teeth, including braces and retainers, custom-made, removable, or fixed tools that cover the outside of your teeth, and help keep them in position.
Many general dentists do a basic alignment and treat other tooth problems, but the best orthodontists specialize in correcting issues with your teeth. Dr. Amruta Gotkhinde is well Qualified in Orthodontics & Dental care. Her expertise is invisible orthodontics without compromising the function of teeth.
The dentist or orthodontist you choose will ask questions about your health, do a clinical exam, take a digital scan of your teeth, take photos of your face and teeth, and order X-rays of the mouth and head. They’ll come up with a treatment plan based on this information.
You might only need a removable retainer. If you have an extreme overbite or underbite, you could need surgery. But most people need braces.
