What is orthodontics
An increasing number of people today face some form of orthodontic issue—such as misaligned teeth, tooth rotation, crowding, or an improper bite. These problems often arise due to genetics, but also as a result of certain bad habits (e.g., thumb-sucking in children). All of these factors contribute to an asymmetrical and unbalanced facial appearance and profile.
The treatment and approach to resolving these issues depend on the underlying cause, and there are two main categories:
Orthodontic anomalies of dentogenic origin
Orthodontic anomalies of osteogenic origin
Orthodontic anomalies of dentogenic origin can be successfully corrected with fixed appliance therapy, which must be preceded by causal preparation. It is essential that all teeth are healthy and free of caries and tartar before the braces are placed.
Orthodontic anomalies of osteogenic origin result from improper positioning or disproportionate development of the upper and lower jaws. Such cases are treated using a multidisciplinary approach—**orthognathic surgery**. This approach involves a surgical phase followed by orthodontic appliance therapy, yielding excellent results both functionally and aesthetically.
