Orthodontics has always had an interdisciplinary impact in dentistry and medicine. The collaboration with otorhinolaryngologists specialized for children with oral respiration or speech-orthopedagogues and speech therapists for patients with speech disorders and tongue malfunction, is integrated in our practical work, as the correlating symptoms influence orthodontic treatment.

Dentists and especially pediatricians play a decisive role by informing parents about the need for an orthodontic examination.
