Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, primarily through devices like braces, clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign), and retainers. Orthodontists complete dental school plus additional specialized residency training before treating patients, most commonly adolescents but increasingly adults as well. The field addresses both cosmetic alignment and functional issues like bite problems that can affect chewing and jaw health.
