An orthodontic device is a medical device used to correct the position of teeth and jaws. It can be used to correct malocclusion, align teeth, as well as to solve other problems related to the position of teeth and jaws.

There are several types of orthodontic devices, including:

  •  Braces systems: These are small metal or ceramic teeth loaded onto the front side, connected by wires and elastic bands. They exert constant pressure on the teeth to gradually move them to the desired position.
  •  Removable orthodontic devices: These devices can be removed by the patient and are usually used to treat children. They can include various types of devices, such as retainers, recess machines, and others.
  •  Transparent leveling systems: This is a new generation of orthodontic devices, such as Invisalign, which are transparent removable traces created individually for each patient to gradually straighten teeth.

An orthodontic device is usually prescribed by a dentist or orthodontist after an examination and assessment of the condition of the teeth and jaws. It is important to follow the recommendations of a specialist regarding the wearing and care of an orthodontic device in order to achieve the best results of bite correction.
