Orthodontics used to be called orthodontia - the word comes from
the Greek orthos, meaning "straight, perfect or proper“.
n Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating
patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is
closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite.
Orthodontics also includes treating and controlling various aspects
of facial growth (dentofacial orthopedics) and the shape and
development of the jaw.
n An orthodontist will use the orthodontic products as the devices
that align and straighten teeth, to correct underbites, as well as
malocclusions, overbites, open bites, deep bites, cross bites,
crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw.
