Orthodontic treatment is the treatment that corrects congenital or acquired tooth and jaw disorders by means of braces, mouthguards and extraoral appliances. With orthodontic treatments, dysfunctions in the teeth and jaws are corrected, while at the same time the desired positive aesthetic changes are achieved with properly aligned teeth. As a result of the correction of incorrect bites, correct chewing movements can be made, which also protects the health of the jaw joint. Proper jaw bites provided by functional treatments also create major positive changes in the external appearance of the patients.
The main goal of orthodontic treatment is to achieve a correct bite by correcting the teeth and jaw. A correct bite ensures proper alignment of the teeth and harmony of the jaws. Orthodontic treatment can also improve chewing function, ensure harmony between the teeth and reduce stress on the jaw joint. Aesthetically, properly aligned teeth and corrected jaw relationships can often result in a more beautiful smile and facial profile.
Orthodontic treatment has no age limit. Orthodontic treatment can be applied at any age. However, in children, treatment usually starts before the development of the teeth and jaw is complete.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the individual’s condition and the complexity of the treatment, usually between 1 and 3 years.
Orthodontic treatment is usually not painful, but slight discomfort may be felt at the beginning of treatment or when the braces are adjusted.
Wire-free orthodontics (clear aligner treatment) is orthodontic treatment using transparent aligners prepared individually with 3D printers without the use of conventional metal or porcelain wires.
Orthodontic disorders in which transparent aligners are applied are very diverse. It is used in many orthodontic disorders such as crowding of teeth, spaced teeth, jaw expansion in the treatment of malocclusion.
Regular tooth and gum care is important after orthodontic treatment. Maintaining brushing and flossing habits as recommended by your dentist is important for the long-term success of the treatment. It is also important not to neglect regular check-ups.
