Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. The word comes from the Greek words ortho meaning straight and odons meaning tooth.

Now does the orthodontist put the braces on or the assistant is supposed to, because where I work the assistants is supposed to be doing everything also ligature wires like pulling the teeth. Also measuring the brackets. Please tell me all the duties what the assistant is suppose to be doing? Thank you for your opinions.

A lot of my friends said when they got braces, it didn’t hurt that much, but I just got ‘em yesterday, and the damn things hurt like hell for some reason, anything I can do to make it go away?
Thanks.

What do they do? My other dentist noticed I had an under-bite and said braces could fix it, but my teeth are naturally straight, the only problem is my under-bite. I’ve never been to an orthodontist before so what do they do? Do take clean your teeth, take pictures, etc?
