The benefits of orthodontic treatment can include the following:

Correction of dental crowding and rotated teeth by straightening teeth in the upper and lower dental arches

Closing gaps between teeth

Accommodating buried or displaced teeth

Reducing the prominence of protruding teeth and thus the likelihood of damage to prominent teeth

Enhancing facial aesthetics

Creation of an efficient bite of the teeth so that the front teeth meet on closing and the back teeth mesh together without any displacement.

Preparation for advanced dental treatment, such as crowns, bridges or dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Reversing the drifting of the teeth in older patients who have suffered from advanced gum disease

Improvement in psychological well-being and self esteem.
