Orthodontics is a branch of science that deals with the formation and alignment disorders of teeth. It is considered a sub-branch of dentistry and is usually applied to children and young adults. Orthodontics uses various treatment methods to correct, align and provide an aesthetic appearance to the teeth and jaw structure.

Orthodontic treatments are performed with appliances and devices used to ensure proper alignment of the teeth. These treatments are designed to correct the crookedness of the teeth, improve jaw relationships and balance the facial structure. Orthodontic treatments can be performed with fixed (brackets, wires) or removable (plates, transparent plates) devices.

Orthodontics requires a multidisciplinary approach to achieve aesthetic and functional results. The treatment process is personalized according to the patient's age, tooth structure and needs. Orthodontic treatments are managed by dentists and orthodontists and followed up with regular check-ups.
