Orthodontic and Dental Definitions

Sometimes the specialty of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics can involve unusual or obscure terminology. Dr. Catherine Oden Fulton believes that patients have a right to be fully informed about their case, including understanding the factors that affect their treatment. During the course of your treatment, you may wish to return to these pages to more fully understand your dento-skeletal condition as your treatment progresses.
