About Wilmington Orthodontics Wilmington Orthodontics offers comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teenagers, and adults. Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that corrects dental and jaw irregularities to improve oral health. Effective orthodontic treatment requires a group effort from patients, parents, your general dentist, and the Wilmington Orthodontics team! Aligned teeth are more resistant to decay and gum disease because they are easier to clean. A balanced bite offers more efficient chewing and harmony between the teeth, facial muscles, and jaw joints. Additionally, the improved aesthetics of the jaw, lips, and face can have psychological benefits, including an improved self-image.
