ORTHODONTICS

Orthodontics helps the replacement and proper alignment of crooked teeth with tools such as orthodontic braces, appliances and aligners. Because crooked teeth are difficult to clean, the risk of tooth decay and gum disease is higher. Thanks to the X-ray and other tools, the orthodontist will decide during the examination which treatment is suitable for you.

What is the ideal age for treatment? Can adults also get results from orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment applied to individuals who are in the growth and development period gives the best results. Jaw bones and teeth respond more quickly to treatment during this period. However, patients can wear braces at an advanced age. Dental problems (such as crooked teeth, tooth gaps, etc.) can be corrected at any age when the instructions of the physician are taken into account. Skeletal problems (such as positioning the mandible in front or behind…) can be corrected with functional treatments for those who are in the growth and development period, and with jaw surgery in adults whose growth does not continue.

Is orthodontic treatment possible with clear aligners?

Today, orthodontic treatment can also be performed with clear aligners. Orthodontic treatment can be performed with clear aligners or fixed systems, taking into account special conditions such as the size of the crooked structure in the teeth, the age of the patient, etc. Your orthodontist will give the most accurate information about the treatment method during the examination.

How long does the treatment take? And what should I pay attention to during this time?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the patient’s problems. The factors such as condition of the crowding or anomaly, the method to be used, the cooperation of the patient, etc. play a decisive role in determining the duration of the orthodontic treatment. Since tools such as aligner, rubber, brace, wire that will make it difficult to maintain oral hygiene are used in the orthodontic treatment, extreme care should be taken in oral and dental care. The doctor's instructions should strictly be followed, hard and acidic foods that will adversely affect the treatment should be avoided.
