Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting malocclusion (misaligned teeth and bite discrepancies). Proper orthodontic treatment improves not only aesthetics, but also function, occlusion, periodontal health, and long-term stability.
At Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center, orthodontic care is integrated with prosthodontic and occlusal principles, ensuring results that are both cosmetically refined and biomechanically stable.
