Orthodontics is the
specialist area of dentistry concerned with the development
of the jaws and teeth. It aims to diagnose, prevent and
treat dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontic
treatment aims to guide the teeth into the correct positions
so that they look good in the face as a whole and bite
together well.
If the
main goal of the treatment is the dental displacement, most
commonly a fixed multi bracket therapy is used. In this case
orthodontic wires are inserted into dental braces, which can
be made from stainless steel or a more esthetic ceramic
material.
