Orthodontics

ORTHODONTICS

Orthodontics is the diagnosis and treatment of dental and facial disorders. It is the branch responsible for the order of the teeth in the jaw and the relationship between the jaws.

Orthodontics is a branch that treats disorders or adaptation problems that occur in the teeth, jaws and facial area. The orthodontics department, which applies treatment methods to prevent the aforementioned disorders and prevent their progression, aims to maximize the functions that directly affect the life of the person (such as biting, chewing, speaking, laughing).

Orthodontic Disorders may occur due to the following reasons,

Depending on hereditary factors,
Congenital anomalies (such as cleft lip and palate),
Malfunctioning functions (such as mouth breathing),
Harmful habits (such as finger sucking, using a pacifier for a long time),
Early loss of milk teeth due to caries,
Traumas such as teeth grinding or falling, knocking,
Crowded teeth do not only cause an unwanted aesthetic appearance. Since it is very difficult to completely clean the crooked teeth, it is highly likely that decay and gum disorders will occur. Therefore, orthodontic treatments are of great importance for oral health as well as for aesthetics.

Orthodontic treatments are constantly modernizing with the development of today’s modern technology.

AESTHETIC ALTERNATIVES TO DENTAL WIRES

INVİSALİGN

The Invisalign system, which is a patented work, has a structure that is almost invisible. The invisiling system, which the patient can put on and off without the help of an orthodontist, is produced in series according to the patient’s tooth structure. With the patient using the next straightener of the series every two weeks, the teeth that move a little more with each straightener come to their planned position with the last straightener of the series (a treatment period of 1-1.5 years) coming out of the mouth.

ADVANTAGES
