Orthodontics is the field that covers the correction of abnormal tooth alignment, mismatches between the upper and lower jaws, and problems with jaw development. The aim is for the teeth to sit properly in the jawbone and for problems in the alignment of the mouth, jaws and face to be corrected.
Orthodontics itself can be classified into preventive, interceptive and corrective orthodontic treatment. Depending on the patient's condition and the method used, treatment is also divided into three types: fixed, removable and Invisalign bracket-free orthodontic treatment.
In the fixed method, slotted metal attachments called brackets are bonded to the teeth. Removable orthodontic treatment, often preferred for children aged 6–12, uses appliances that patients can put in and take out themselves. Invisalign bracket-free orthodontic treatment uses clear, aesthetic-looking materials to move the teeth effectively and quickly into the desired position.
Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age, skeletal problems are easier and more effectively treated during the period of growth and development.
