Orthodontics (or orthodontia) is a specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions, which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both.
Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopaedics".
Orthodontic treatment can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons - improving the general appearance of patients' teeth and face for cosmetic reasons- but treatment is often prescribed for practical reasons, providing the patient with a functionally improved bite (occlusion).

Would you mean oral surgery or an oral surgeon....
Orthodontics deals with the shape of a bite (braces, retainers, etc.)
Dentistry deals with the repair and maintenance of the teeth.

Maxillo Facial Unit there should be 1 at your local hospital or go see you doctor and asked to be referred. They deal with jaw problems as grinding of teeth in sleep which can cause lots of problems with your bite and also damage your teeth.

For an eye-nose-throat specialist the word is laryngology.
