Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that aims to correct irregularities in the teeth and jaw structure. Crooked and irregular teeth prevent a person from performing their biting and chewing functions healthily.

In addition, irregularities in the teeth and jaw structure negatively affect the aesthetic appearance. In our clinic, our orthodontists successfully apply treatments to correct irregularities in the teeth and jaw. In this way, it is possible for our patients to get rid of their problems and achieve an aesthetic appearance.
With orthodontic treatment, irregularities in the teeth of adults as well as children can be eliminated. In this way, it is possible to fully perform the functions of eating, chewing and speaking. With the treatments performed by our expert orthodontist team, the patient has regular and aesthetic looking teeth. With the checks performed, a recurrence of irregularities in the teeth is also prevented.
Crooked teeth cause the person to experience various negativities in their current life. In addition, the possibility of tooth decay, gum recession, loosening and tooth loss increases. Therefore, irregularities in the teeth should be treated without neglect. In this way, future dental problems can be prevented.
How is Orthodontic Treatment Performed?
Orthodontic treatment aims to correct irregularities in the teeth and jaw structure. Each patient's mouth and tooth structure is different. Therefore, appropriate treatment methods should be used. Our orthodontists use treatment methods that will provide the patient with the fastest results in accordance with their mouth and tooth structure with the checks they perform. The methods used in orthodontic treatment in modern medicine include the following:
· Dental braces: Dental braces are among the oldest and most frequently used orthodontic treatment methods. Metal brackets placed on the tooth surface are combined with wires and fixed. With this method, the teeth are ensured to achieve their ideal order and appearance over time.
· Transparent plates: Transparent plates are placed on the teeth and can be easily removed while eating and brushing teeth. Because it is transparent, it is not possible to notice it when viewed from the outside. With this feature, this method is preferred more especially in adults.
· Lingual brackets: Lingual brackets, which have a structure similar to traditional braces, are attached to the inner surface of the teeth. In this way, it is impossible to see it when viewed from the outside. This method is applied to patients who care about their appearance and do not want it to be understood that they are receiving orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatment is applied in cases of narrow palate and irregular jaw position. In these cases, palate expanders and jaw holders are used. With these devices, the palate is expanded and the jaw is positioned as desired. In our clinic, the patient's mouth, teeth and jaw structure are carefully examined and planned. Modern methods and devices are used for the success of the treatment.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Last?
The duration of orthodontic treatment, which aims to correct the irregularities in the teeth and jaw, varies from patient to patient. The complete implementation of the treatment program specially prepared for the patient to completely eliminate the problem in his/her teeth and jaw plays an important role in the success of the treatment. The wires or plates attached to the patient's teeth should be used in the specified ways and regular check-ups should not be neglected. In this way, when the treatment is applied completely, an aesthetic appearance is achieved on the teeth.
