Brooklyn Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that is concerned with correcting both misaligned teeth and jaws in order to provide patients with a healthier and better looking smile. Common orthodontic problems, such as crowding, spacing, and protrusion, are known as malocclusions. While some malocclusions are hereditary, others stem from dental disease, accidents, or habits such as thumb-sucking. Not only does orthodontic treatment lead to a more desirous smile, but it also gives patients a better bite by ensuring that patients' teeth fit more perfectly.
