How is orthodontic treatment better than other procedures employed for improvement of smile?
• Orthodontic treatment is a natural and normal process which gradually disperses the biting pressure to move the tooth in the right direction and hence goes slowly and steadily. • It does not involve any cutting and building or alteration of tooth structure and therefore does not hamper with the enamel, dentine, pulp and hence vitality of tooth. • Rather during Orthodontic treatment tooth is moved along with its entire supportive structures till it reaches the final position and hence remains healthy throughout and after the treatment. • As the teeth finally come to a better occlusion the orthodontic treatment actually improves the dental health.
