Orthodontic is a branch of dental medicine that deals with correcting the position of teeth.
Although it's considered that an orthodontic treatment is performed only for cosmetic reasons, some patients are referred to an orthodontist for functional reasons and for improving the jaw relationships. An orthodontic treatment usually deals with both of these abnormalities.
Irregularities in the position of teeth can cause a variety of problems. It makes difficult to perform proper oral hygiene, which can lead to tooth decay and tartar and it can lead also to more serious temporomandibular joint problems and consequential misalignment of the spine.

After orthodontic treatment, patients have to wear a retainer. It's a device that patients get after orthodontic treatment to hold the teeth in their new positions. Wearing a retainer is very important, otherwise the teeth will move back towards their original positions. The period of wear of retainers varies from individual to individual and it's recommended to wear it as long as possible. Permanent retainers are fixed in the mouth, while removable retainers can be taken out of the mouth.
