Orthodontics as a preventive medicine
Orthodontics in preventive medicine involves early detection and correction of developing malocclusions to prevent more severe orthodontic problems and maintain normal oral function and health.

Orthodontics in preventive medicine focuses on the early diagnosis and management of developing malocclusions to prevent severe orthodontic problems later in life. By intercepting harmful oral habits, guiding jaw growth, and correcting minor irregularities at an early stage, orthodontic treatment helps maintain normal function, esthetics, and overall oral health, reducing the need for complex treatments in the future.
