According to Organic Chemistry, "Ortho", is applied to differentiate the three kinds of isomer of disubstitued benzenes, it specifies that the substituents are at locants 1 and 2.

It is usually written in italic form, and is regularly abbreviated as O in complex names. Like the complex name ortho- xylene is equal to o-xylene. Orthodontics is also a specialty of dentistry which is related to the study and treatment of malocclusions, which may consequent in tooth irregularity, uneven jaw relationships or both.

Orthodontic treatment can concentrate on dental dislocation only it can even concern the control as well as modification of facial growth. In the second case it is better illustrated as "dentofacial orthopedic". The orthodontic treatment can be done for the purpose of aesthetic reasons.
