The word “orthodontics” comes from two Greek words: “ortho” meaning straight or correct, and “dont” meaning tooth. This term was first introduced in 1841 by French doctor Pierre-Joachim Lefoulon, who called it “orthodontosie.” Over time, this evolved into the English word “orthodontics” that we use today.
While each person’s braces journey is unique, most orthodontists follow a similar process.
Here’s what to expect:
After getting braces, your teeth might feel sensitive. This happens because your mouth is adjusting to the pressure of the metal. Don’t worry; this sensitivity usually goes away after a little while.
You may also feel some discomfort around your gums and jaw from sitting in the dental chair for a long time. This feeling will fade, so be patient. Remember to always ask your orthodontist any questions or concerns you have.

Orthodontists, like Dr. Amir Davoody at Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics, are qualified dentists who have pursued an additional 2-3 years of specialized training in orthodontics. This advanced education includes extensive clinical practice through a residency program. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) governs this elite branch of dentistry.
Orthodontists are skilled in diagnosing and treating misaligned or overcrowded teeth, as well as various bite issues known as malocclusions. These problems may arise when the upper and lower jaws don’t align properly, which can be caused by factors such as premature loss of baby teeth, developmental issues, trauma, or other factors.
