Orthodontic education is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. It typically requires a dental degree followed by additional training in orthodontics, which can last 2-3 years. During this period, students learn about various treatment methods, including braces and aligners, as well as the biology of tooth movement. Students in orthodontic programs gain hands-on experience through clinical practice, where they work with patients under supervision. They also study topics such as facial growth, radiology, and biomechanics to understand how to create effective treatment plans tailored to individual needs.
