What is Full or Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment?
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment refers to therapies that involve the alignment of your teeth, how your jaw operates and how your bottom and top teeth meet. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment is used to correct any of these problems and restore your bite to its optimum position. Treatment can begin at nearly any age and may consist of several different phases, depending on the problem being corrected and the goal of treatment. Other therapies used may include periodontal (gum) care; oral surgery (including jaw surgery or tooth extractions); and restorative treatment (crowns, bridges, fillings, implants, etc.
