Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malpositioned teeth and jaws. It can also focus on modifying facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics. An orthodontist is a dentist who diagnoses overbites, occlusions, misaligned teeth and jaws, and overcrowded mouth, thereby helping patients to improve their oral health.
