What is mean by orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics is one of the most advanced treatments in Dentistry. Very simply speaking it is the treatment for the correction of teeth due to discrepancies by birth, to the jaws, teeth, tongue or surrounding oral tissues. This treatment also could be used to correct disfiguration due to bad habits (eg.. Thumb sucking).
Experience is that parents are most concerned about justing out (proclination) of the teeth more than clustered or spacing of the teeth.

It is very essential to visit your family dental surgeon regularly (every six month). As during this period if she/he notices any discrepancy in your child's teeth he.she would immediately take necessary steps to correct it or else he/she would refer your child to a qualified consultant orthodontist.
