Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of tooth anomalies and malocclusion.

Orthodontic treatment involves the elimination of congenital, hereditary and acquired defects associated with the position of the teeth, bite, and TMJ dysfunction, and, just as importantly, this is one of the most effective tools in aesthetic dentistry

Before starting any treatment, a doctor must find out the cause of your pathology and work out in detail all its components. For this, a diagnosis is carried out before treatment, which includes:

• Analysis of x-ray images of the dentition (orthopantomography or panoramic image);
• Side picture of the head (tele-radiography);
• Measurement of dentition (for this, the doctor will take your dental impressions or perform an intraoral digital scan of the dentition);
• Intraoral and portrait photographs.

After a thorough diagnosis, the patient is introduced to an individual treatment plan.
