Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to correct problems with the alignment of teeth and jaws, and to improve the overall function and appearance of the mouth and face.
Orthodontic treatment may involve the use of braces, clear aligners, or other dental appliances to gently move teeth into their proper positions over a period of time. This process is typically performed by an orthodontist, a dental specialist who has received additional training and education in the field of orthodontics.
