Orthodontic is a specialty of dentistry that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns. It can also involve changing facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics.
Abnormal alignment of teeth and jaws is very common. According to the American Orthodontic Association, nearly 50% of the population in the developed world has malocclusions severe enough to benefit from orthodontic treatment, although this figure drops to less than 10% according to the same AAO statement when it comes to medically necessary orthodontics. However, conclusive scientific evidence of the health benefits of orthodontic treatment is lacking, although patients who completed treatment reported a higher quality of life than untreated patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The main reason for the prevalence of these malocclusions is a diet that includes fewer fresh fruits and vegetables and overall softer foods during childhood, resulting in smaller jaws with less space for teeth to erupt. Treatment can take several months to a few years and involves the use of braces and other devices to gradually adjust the position of the teeth and the alignment of the jaw. In cases where malocclusion is severe, jaw surgery may be included in the treatment plan. Treatment usually begins before a person reaches adulthood, as pre-adult bones can adjust more easily before adulthood.

ble to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted.

« On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains. »
