Orthodontics (orthodontistry) is a form of dentistry that specializes in improper bites which may be caused by tooth placement or by jaw alignment. The word comes from the Greek words ortho meaning straight and odons meaning tooth. Orthodontic treatments may be necessary or for aesthetic purposes. The most common orthodontic treatment is braces.
