A specialty field of dentistry, orthodontics is a branch that focuses on normal structure and development, anomalies, and anomaly treatment in tooth, jaw, and facial complex. While it all started with aesthetic purposes, its boundaries have expanded over time and orthodontics have evolved into what it is today.
Today the target audience of orthodontics as well as field of practice have expanded significantly. Recent studies have shown that with preventive dentistry gaining popularity all over the world, awareness among people has increased while the number of tooth decay incidents dropped significantly. As a result, interest towards orthodontics due to diseases created by factors like developmental disabilities and various harmful habits (such as biting your lips, long-term baby bottle usage, thumb sucking, etc.) vastly increased.
