Orthodontics, also known as malocclusion or "bad bite," is described
by the American Association of Orthodontics as the branch of
dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and
treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
What is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialized
training to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial
irregularities in patients. Within the U.S., orthodontists are
required to complete a two- to three-year advanced residency program
in orthodontics following the completion of their four-year graduate
dental program. Each of these programs must be accredited by the
American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation.
