Orthodontics
The science focused on the growth and development of the teeth and their related structures. It focuses on guiding the eruption of teeth, correcting malocclusion and improving facial aesthetics.

Study Notes
Orthodontics Terminology
- The term "orthodontics" is derived from the Greek words "orthos" meaning straight and "odont" meaning tooth.
Definition of Orthodontics
- According to the American Board of Orthodontics, the main responsibility of orthodontics is to diagnose, prevent, and treat dentofacial irregularities.
- Noyes defined orthodontics in 1911 as "the branch of dental science which deals with the prevention and correction of irregularities of the teeth".
- Angle stated that the objective of the science of orthodontics is to harmonize the development of the teeth and jaws.
Aims and Objectives of Orthodontic Treatment
- According to Jackson's Triad, one of the aims and objectives of orthodontic treatment is to achieve a satisfactory occlusion.
Malocclusion Characteristics
- A characteristic of an open bite malocclusion is a space between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
- A skeletal open bite malocclusion is caused by a lack of closure of the bite due to an underlying skeletal problem.
- Malocclusions associated with decreased vertical facial dimensions are classified as deepbites.
- In a Type 2 deepbite, the mandibular incisors impinge on the mucosa palatal to the maxillary incisors.
- A dental open bite malocclusion is caused by a habit, such as thumb-sucking, or a muscle imbalance that causes the teeth to move apart.
