What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontics can boost a person's self-image as the teeth, jaws and lips become properly aligned. But an attractive smile is just one of the benefits of orthodontic treatment. Proper orthodontic treatment can help to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction, chewing, airway and digestive disorders.
More than any dental specialty, orthodontics requires a team effort from everyone involved - parents, patient, orthodontist, and staff. Many orthodontic problems are quite complex, involving the growth patterns of the face as well as misaligned teeth. Orthodontists have undergone two to three additional years of university-based postdoctoral residency training in order to learn the special skills required to manage the complexities of orthodontic treatment.
