What is Orthodontic Treatment?

When considering orthodontic treatment, you have several options to evaluate. There are many different types of appliances, both fixed and removable, that can be used to help move teeth, retrain muscles, and affect the growth of your jaw.  They work by placing gentle pressure on your teeth and jaw. The severity of your problem determines which orthodontic approach will be most effective.
