Orthodontics is the dental specialty that corrects the position of teeth and jaws. The orthodontist treats crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, misaligned jaws and bite problems — the way the upper and lower teeth meet. He or she treats children and teenagers, whose teeth and jaws are still growing, but also adults, who increasingly wear braces. Treatment uses fixed braces, clear aligners or removable appliances, depending on age and situation. In Marrakech, orthodontists practise in dental clinics. This page explains what this specialist does, when to consult one, how a consultation usually goes, and how to find a practitioner in Marrakech on Doctabib. The information here is general: it does not replace the advice of a health professional.

What does this specialist do? The orthodontist examines the position of the teeth and jaws, analyses X-rays and impressions, then proposes a treatment plan: type of appliance, estimated duration and follow-up steps. He or she fits and adjusts the appliance at regular appointments, monitors tooth movement and adapts the treatment if needed. He or she also treats jaw problems that affect chewing, speech or breathing, and works with the dental surgeon for tooth and gum care. At the end of treatment, he or she fits a retainer — a wire or a tray — to keep the teeth in their new position.
When should you consult? Consult if teeth are crowded, spaced or misaligned, if the jaws are out of line, if your child breathes through the mouth, sucks their thumb after the age of four, or if a tooth is late coming through. A first consultation is often advised around age seven, when the first permanent teeth are in place, but it is never too late: adults can also benefit from treatment. Also consult if a tooth has been moved by an injury, or if chewing is difficult. In case of severe pain, swelling or dental trauma, contact a dentist or the emergency services (15 / 19 / 177) quickly.
How does the consultation go? The first consultation starts with a discussion and an examination of the mouth, teeth and jaws, then X-rays and impressions or a 3D scan. The orthodontist explains the diagnosis, the appliance options, the estimated treatment time and the follow-up. He or she also explains hygiene rules: brushing after every meal, foods to avoid with a fixed appliance, and regular check-up appointments. Bring your previous dental X-rays and the list of your current treatments.
