What Is Orthodontistry?
 Orthodontistry is the branch of dentistry that that deals with the treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which could be a problem stemming from tooth irregularities, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. The word orthdontistry comes from the Greek words ortho (meaning straight) and odons (meaning tooth).
Some tools used by orthodontists to help straighten missaligned teeth or jaws include braces, retainers and the dreaded headgear. Earch of these orthodontic tools are designed to correct the problem gradually over time. Adults who wish to correct dental issues in weeks and months instead of years, might consider other options, such as cosmetic dental surgery. |
