| The management of irregularities of the teeth, jaws and face |
Orthodontics is concerned with the management of irregularities of the teeth, jaws and face. The most common orthodontic problems are crowding of teeth, impacted teeth (where a tooth cannot fully erupt because it is partially blocked by another tooth) and protruding (sticking out) teeth. Most orthodontic treatment is carried out in childhood but increasing success is reported with adult treatment.
