Orthodontics (teeth straightening)

The word ‘orthodontics’ has its roots in a Greek verb meaning ‘to straighten teeth,’ and today means a branch of dentistry ensuring the correct positioning of teeth rather than their maintenance.

Orthodontics, which use devices such as braces to solve dental problems such as overcrowding, poorly spaced teeth, cross bites, overbites, is mainly used to treat children and adolescents, but can also be beneficial for adults.
