Braces are probably the most commonly used term for orthodontic treatment. Teeth straightening is also a popular term since the procedure aims to straighten crooked teeth. Teeth alignment is another synonym that emphasizes the goal of the treatment. Teeth adjustment refers to the process of making small changes to the position of teeth to improve their bite.
