Abstract

Orthodontics aims to improve face and teeth harmony and to allow a good development of orofacial and occlusive functions. Orthodontic treatment is adapted to each individual case and may be early or late. Orthodontic indications and management require a collaboration between the paediatrician, the dentist and the orthodontist. The main indications are described.
