Like many other fields, orthodontics has also come up with its own language that we call a Dental Lingo and where every number means a specific tooth. You might be wondering while sitting in front of your orthodontist and reading your dental treatment plan that what sort of statistics is written in that, but that’s actually the
teeth numbers and names in dental specific language which your dentist use to identify teeth by name and treat your teeth.
The treatment plans are presented based on The Federation Dentaire International Numbering System (FDI) or The Universal Numbering System which is not easy for a layman (A Patient) to understand. So here in this blog, we have compiled the necessary information about this language so that it becomes easy for you to understand dental treatment plan whenever you or any of your family member visits dentist and gets a plan for treatment.
