Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of teeth and jaw structure, correction of disorders and treatment of intra-oral irregularities. Dentists who specialize in this field diagnose problems in the tooth and jaw structure and try to correct them using various treatment methods. Orthodontic treatments are generally carried out using braces (brackets), transparent aligners (aligners) or other corrective devices. The purpose of these treatments is to align the teeth, ensure harmony between the jaws and improve general oral health. Orthodontic treatments usually begin in childhood or adolescence, but are also suitable for adults. In addition to aesthetic corrections, orthodontic treatment can also improve chewing function and overall oral health. The treatment process can usually last from a few months to a few years, but may vary depending on the individual's dental condition.
