This is where dental appliances are used to move teeth. Orthodontists are trained to provide treatments to prevent or reduce the severity of developing malocclusions by maintaining the quality of an otherwise healthy developing oral structure. Corrective orthodontics is a technical field within orthodontics focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Unlike preventive or interceptive orthodontics, which aim to address issues early in a patient’s development, corrective orthodontics involves the use of appliances and techniques to correct established malocclusions (misalignments of the teeth and jaws) and other dental deformities in children, adolescents, and adults.
