Literature and textbooks on Orthodontics

Orthodontics - essence

Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, management and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws and misaligned bite patterns. Alteration of facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics, may also be addressed. Abnormal arrangement of teeth and jaws is very common. About 50% of the population of developed countries have malocclusions severe enough to benefit from orthodontic treatment. However, conclusive scientific evidence for the health benefits of orthodontic treatment is lacking, although patients with completed orthodontic treatment report a higher quality of life than untreated patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Treatment can take several months to several years and involves using braces and other appliances to gradually adjust the position of the teeth and the alignment of the jaw. In cases where the malocclusion is severe, jaw surgery may be included in the treatment plan. Treatment usually begins before a person reaches adulthood, as pre-adult bones can be corrected more easily before adulthood.
