Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the correction and alignment of the teeth and jaw. A correct orthodontic treatment can provide an aesthetic smile as well as improve the functional harmony of the teeth and jaw. In our clinic, we aim to ensure that our patients have a natural and straight smile by successfully applying orthodontic treatments.

Importance of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment can be applied for a variety of conditions. These include crooked teeth, spaced teeth, jaw disorders and speech problems. The purpose of these treatments is to create a healthy oral structure by ensuring that the teeth are properly aligned, which is essential for maintaining the health of the teeth. In addition, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and improve chewing function.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

• Bracket Treatment: Braces are small pieces of metal or ceramic that are bonded over the teeth. A combination of wires and brackets are applied to align and straighten teeth. Braces are an effective option for correcting crooked teeth, closing gaps and improving jaw alignment.
• Clear aligners: Clear aligners are transparent, removable devices used to align teeth. These aligners offer a more aesthetic option and are comfortable to wear. Clear aligners can be suitable for mild orthodontic corrections and are especially popular among adults who want to avoid visible brackets.
• Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are brackets that are bonded to the back surface of the teeth. This ensures that the brackets are not visible and maintains an aesthetic smile. Lingual braces can be preferred especially in cases where visible brackets are not desired.

Orthodontic Treatment Process

• Examination and Diagnosis: The first step is for the dentist to assess the patient’s condition and determine the appropriate treatment options. At this stage, the patient’s oral and dental structure is examined in detail.
• Treatment Plan: The dentist creates a customized treatment plan based on the patient’s needs and treatment goals. The plan includes the type of appliance to be used, the duration of treatment and expectations of the results.
• Treatment Process: The treatment process includes the fitting of brackets or clear aligners and regular check-ups. The brackets or aligners are adjusted at regular intervals to gradually correct the movement of the teeth.
• Preservation of Results: Once treatment is complete, a fixed or removable retainer can be used. This ensures that the results achieved are maintained and prevents the teeth from moving again.
