An Orthodontist is a dentist who specializes and becomes an expert in orthodontic treatments including diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, particularly those related to misaligned teeth and improper jaw alignment. By correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, orthodontic treatment can help enhance facial aesthetics, improve chewing and speech functions, and facilitate better oral hygiene.
The following services provided by our UT Dentists’ Orthodontists include but are not limited to the following:
• Malocclusion
• Crooked teeth
• Bite abnormalities
• Jaw alignment
The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve proper alignment of the teeth and jaws, which not only improves the appearance of the smile but also contributes to the optimal oral health and functionality.
