Orthodontics

Orthodontists treat patients with crisscross placed teeth, a condition wherein the teeth are not positioned correctly, especially when the mouth of the person is closed. Normally, this treatment involves placement of metal/ceramic braces that will help move the teeth to their proper placements.
