The word orthodontics is a word of Greek origin and consists of the words ‘ortho’ and ‘odons’. ‘Ortho’ means straight and ‘odons’ means tooth. Orthodontics is the science that examines the proper alignment of the teeth in the jawbone, the harmony of the upper and lower jaws with each other and with the face. In orthodontic treatment, our goal is not only to arrange the teeth like pearls, but also to arrange the teeth properly, the health of the surrounding tissues of the tooth in the jawbone and the person’s face should be taken into consideration, and treatment planning should be made.
