Orthodontics
is "the detection, prevention and treatment of dysgnathia”. Dysgnathia is a collective term 
for malformations of the jaw, the teeth or the masticatory system.
Thus the aim of orthodontics is either to prevent or, if necessary, to treat and remedy malformations of the masticatory organ. The huge variety of different malalignments of the teeth and jaws requires an operator who has a great deal of experience and knowledge in this field.
