Core Responsibilities:

1. Diagnose & Plan Treatment – Assess malocclusions (bad bites) using X-rays, models, and digital scans.
2. Correct Misalignments– Fix crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, etc.
3. Use Appliances – Braces, aligners (Invisalign), expanders, headgear, and retainers.
4. Early Intervention – Guide jaw growth in kids with space maintainers or habit-breaking devices.

Scope of Practice:

• Treats children, teens, and adults.
• Addresses aesthetic, functional, and skeletal issues.
• Manages complex cases(orthognathic surgery, sleep apnea).
• Uses digital tools (3D imaging, AI, clear aligners).  

In short, Improve bite function, facial harmony, and long-term oral health.
