Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites) that result from tooth irregularity, improper jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment focuses on realignment of the irregular arrangement of teeth and to some extend improving facial growth. Orthodontic treatment is carried out for aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth and or improving the way the teeth fit together to manage periodontal diseases or reduce the pressure of the TMJ. It may be carried out using fixed appliances (braces) or removable appliances (retainers or realigners) or both methods.
