The purpose of orthodontics is not just cosmetic. It also serves to improve tooth function and ease maintenance. When misaligned teeth worsen gum condition and make maintenance difficult, orthodontic treatment may be needed for the sake of dental health.

Orthodontic treatment performed on weakened gums requires more careful attention than typical orthodontic treatment. Professional gum care must also accompany the treatment to prevent teeth from weakening during the process. At BOA Dental Clinic, the Orthodontics and Periodontics departments collaborate to provide senior orthodontic care.
