What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a special branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention and cure of various irregularities of the jaws and teeth. Most orthodontic treatments make use of custom-made braces to cure these dental conditions. An expert who handles such cases and provides the necessary treatments is called an orthodontist. These experts have to master specific techniques and skill sets beyond the standard curriculum of dental training. Modern orthodontics caters to aspects of aesthetic appeal and practical functionality, teeth alignment and teeth straightening.
