Orthodontics

Crookedness of the teeth causes improper jaw closure, impeding the functionality of the teeth. This situation bothers the patient aesthetically, as well. The treatment procedure for this disorder is called orthodontics.
Many children and adults have both aesthetics problems and functional problems with chewing and talking due to misalignment and malocclusion problems. Many of these problems are caused by poorly aligned teeth and improperly positioned jaws. Here at this point, orthodontic treatment is ready to change your or your child’s life.

What are the Causes of Orthodontic Disorders?

Orthodontic problems can be congenital but may also develop due to genetic predisposition. Improper dental alignment problems such as protruding or recessed lower jaw are also orthodontic problems. Orthodontic treatment is considered as the procedure performed to eliminate problems in the jaw and teeth.
Orthodontic disorders can also occur due to long-term use of baby bottles or pacifiers. These habits should be completely finished before starting an orthodontic treatment in children. In orthodontic treatment, crookedness may occur as a result of gaps caused by pre-extracted teeth, or teeth overlapping each other to an extent that the teeth cannot fit in the jawbone that they hold on to. Eruption of baby teeth at an early age is one of the other factors that can cause crooked teeth in the long term.

What are the Orthodontic Treatments?

Orthodontic treatment is a procedure that takes longer compared to other treatment procedures. In this treatment, compatibility of the teeth, and jaw closure are checked. After determination of the extent and stage of congestion or crowding problems, the treatment method is chosen. In the same period, the teeth are checked for caries. If there are caries, it is recommended to apply a treatment for the decayed teeth. The process and procedure of an orthodontic treatment may vary from patient to patient, depending on the condition of the teeth.

Thanks to treatments performed with metal or aesthetic (transparent) braces, your or your child’s malocclusion problems are completely solved, and your teeth can be aligned as wonderfully as you imagine.

First Examination
The first examination is extremely important in an orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist examines the mouth and jaw structure of the patient in detail, and decides on how to perform the orthodontic treatment.

Preparation Stage

Oral care of the patient should be performed before starting the orthodontic treatment. If there are teeth required to be treated or extracted in this regard, they are treated or extracted accordingly. Then, measurements are made and the type of the apparatus to use is determined before the brace placement.

Brace Application

Technological developments have a quite positive effect on brace application. Dental braces that can be placed in a much shorter time, without discomforting the patient are used to in orthodontic treatments. However, braces are placed using traditional methods known. Special adhesives are applied on the braces, and then brackets are adhered to the tooth surfaces. The brackets are fixed with rubber bands, and the movements of the teeth are taken under control.

Orthodontic Consolidation Treatment

Consolidation treatment is performed after the braces are placed and the treatment is completed. It is the maintenance stage of the treatment, which is performed to maintain the positions of the teeth for a long time. At this stage, simpler mouthpieces (oral appliances) are used instead of braces, which the patient can insert and remove on his/her own.
