Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of malocclusions, which are improper bites resulting from tooth irregularities, disproportionate jaw sizes, or other factors. Malocclusions can manifest in various forms, including crowded teeth, crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. These issues not only affect the appearance of the smile but also impact bite function, oral health, and overall facial aesthetics. The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to correct malocclusions and align the teeth and jaws properly, thereby improving bite function, chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and facial harmony.
