Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry, focused on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of irregularities in the position of teeth and jaws, both in childhood and adulthood. Orthodontic treatment is carried out under the supervision of a specialist who, on the basis of a consultation and a thorough initial examination, establishes a diagnosis and prepares an individual treatment plan. Depending on the severity of the defect, treatment is carried out using sensing or fixed appliances or modern invisible braces. During treatment, cooperation with a dentist is crucial, and in more complex cases, with other specialists such as a maxillofacial surgeon, prosthodontist or implantologist. For more challenging defects, treatment may require more time and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve optimal results.
