Orthodontics is the advanced training in a sphere of dentistry mainly concerned with the study as well as treatment of malocclusion, irregular positioning and disproportionate relationship of jaws. The word orthodontics is derived from the Greek language Ortho, meaning straight and Odont, meaning tooth. Orthodontic treatment has mainly two aims; pragmatic – to improve irregular positioning of teeth causing various issues like bite problems, occlusion, etc. and cosmetic – to design a healthy and beautiful smile over a period of time thereby the appearance of the face.
