Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics
The Department of Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. This department aims to correct misaligned teeth, jaws, and bite patterns to enhance both function and appearance. Through advanced techniques, such as braces, aligners, and other dental appliances, orthodontists work to improve patients' overall oral health and boost their confidence. The department combines expertise in clinical care with the latest research in dental technology to provide individualized treatment plans for both children and adults.
