No, orthodontics is not a surgery but rather a specialized field of dentistry that involves assessing and correcting tooth and jaw alignment. Orthodontics is a non-surgical treatment that involves using various orthodontic appliances such as braces, aligners, and retainers to align and straighten teeth. While there are sometimes cases that may require surgical procedures to treat more complex conditions, the majority of orthodontic cases are non-surgical and require no surgery. Orthodontists can diagnose, assess, and provide personalized treatments that meet the unique needs of each individual patient without surgery.
