Orthodontics at a glance

Orthodontics is a dental specialty used to arrange and align the teeth and align the jaws. One of the main tasks of orthodontists is the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of maxillofacial abnormalities.
This can be done either with fixed or removable (movable) treatments, orthodontics with matching colors (ceramic) (composite), or invisible braces by means of the lingual system (braces located behind the teeth), or braces with transparent plates ( Invisalign), etc. Fixed orthodontics can be done by Straight, Edgewise, Roth or Damon methods. In addition, new technologies such as the Mini Screw can be used to treat anomalies.
