Xharra-Budima addressed a common misconception, clarifying that the scope of orthodontics is not limited to tooth alignment. “Orthodontics is not just about aligning teeth, but about guiding the growth and development of the head and neck, creating harmony not only in aesthetics but also in function,” she stated.
