Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a highly specialised area within dentistry which can greatly improve facial irregularities caused by dental abnormalities. Orthodontists are trained dentists who opt to specialise in this area and to do so will undertake many additional years of Orthodontic training. It is an art and a science that involves the Orthodontist diagnosing discrepancies of the jaw and teeth as well as assessing the patients facial profile and form. At Perfect Smile Spa our specialist is a registered orthodontist with the UK General Dental Council.
What Can Orthodontic Treatment Improve?
