Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics has become the most sought after dental treatment most especially here in the Philippines.

Most people would want to have braces on not just for dental treatment purposes, but esthetically as well. Orthodontics is one of the most advanced technologies in dental medicine and it is the most up to date specialization in the field.

There are many types of orthodontic treatments as well as the materials and methods used. You can choose from lingual, porcelain, self-ligating and the newest of the family-- invisalign.

Malocclusions, TMJ problems and maxillofacial disproportions are mostly treated by orthodontic braces and it uniquely enhances one's facial profile in just a matter of months.

Today, esthetics plays a vital role in orthodontics. This is because people have made this as a "status symbol" and not just merely for treatment purposes. This is why porcelain brackets are being invented to enhance those who would want to have perfectly occluded teeth and stunning smile even with braces on.d

Tomorrow, I will be meeting one of my patients who is a good candidate indicated for orthodontic treatment. I still need panoramic, cephalometric and other diagnostic tests to be able to diagnose her case before installing her braces.
