Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists use a variety of appliances, such as braces, retainers, and headgear, to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance, health, and function of the teeth, as well as the patient's overall facial appearance. Orthodontic treatment can also help to prevent future dental problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontists work closely with other dental professionals, such as dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants, to provide comprehensive care for their patients. Orthodontists also work with other healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons, speech therapists, and physical therapists, to ensure that the patient's overall health is taken into consideration when providing treatment. Some of the companies in the Orthodontics market include Align Technology, Inc., 3M Unitek, American Orthodontics, Dentsply Sirona, Henry Schein, Inc., and Ormco Corporation. Show Less Read more
