Orthodontics or Orthodontia is a division of dentistry that deals with the proper positioning of teeth and jaws. For positioning and correction of teeth, braces are used which help in curing the condition of orthodontics.
Orthodontics is derived from the Greek orthos (correct, straight) and -odont- (tooth). The history of orthodontics has been intimately linked with the history of dentistry for more than 2000 years. Dentistry had its origins as a part of medicine.
