What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry concerned with the correction of malocclusions (bad bites) that may cause crooked teeth and/or disproportionate jaw growth. Orthodontic treatment improves physical appearance and self confidence, in addition to providing a healthy functional bite that is more resistant to disease.
Orthodontists diagnose and correct malocclusions. They assess the malocclusion and fit orthodontic appliances, such as braces or invisible aligners to fix jaw and facial abnormalities. Orthodontics is a recognised specialty of the New Zealand Dental Council and orthodontists have undergone specialist training and additional qualifications.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that deals with diseases of the gums and tooth supporting structures. Replacing missing or diseased teeth with a dental implants is another important area of this specialty.
