Orthodontics refers to the treatment of misaligned teeth. A malocclusion refers to the relationship of the upper to lower teeth. An orthodontic problem can be just a misalignment of teeth or it can be a combination of problems that also has to do with skeletal issues between upper and lower jaws. Most malocclusions can be corrected and all can be helped. Length of treatment depends upon the severity of the malocclusion and the cooperation of the patient. Orthodontic cases vary widely on the amount of time to complete treatment, from 6 months to years. Invisalign can be used to correct malocclusions by using clear removal aligners or retainers.
