They promote oral health and oral hygiene, repair cracked teeth, treat gum disease, such as gingivitis, fill and bond teeth.
Key Takeaways:
- Orthodontists do much more than just fixing teeth. They can also help with realigning jaws and giving you the best oral health, they can.
- An orthodontist can fix issues other than teeth such as misalignments all the way to braces and making a splint for your jaw.
- Orthodontist can do more for you overall mouth health then just visiting a dentist. They can perform surgeries and fix things that a normal dentist cannot.
