Orthodontics is a medical specialty that aims to align teeth, jaws, and the face properly. Orthodontists deal with problems such as misaligned teeth, gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, and jaw anomalies.

Orthodontic treatment typically involves the use of fixed or removable devices (braces, wires, plates, appliances, etc.) that move teeth to align them properly. The duration of treatment can vary depending on treatment requirements, age of the patient, and the condition of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment usually begins in childhood or adolescence but can also be applied to adults.

There are many benefits to orthodontic treatment. Properly aligned teeth, jaw, and facial structure provide many advantages for chewing and speaking functions, oral hygiene, general health, and aesthetics.

To undergo orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to consult an orthodontist who will create a treatment plan based on the patient’s condition and needs. The process and cost of treatment can vary depending on treatment requirements, devices used, and duration of treatment.
