Orthodontic Treatment

For crowded, twisted, or too projecting teeth, braces can bring them into proper teeth alignment.

Necessary overbite correction, underbites, crossbites, and open bites are all examples of malocclusions.

If you have gaps or spaces between your teeth, braces can help.

Misalignment of the jaws: Orthodontic therapy can correct issues with the position of the upper and lower jaws, leading to better symmetry and functionality of the face.

Clear Aligners: Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are often used instead of braces. They are a set of custom-made, removable braces in transparent trays that are placed over your teeth. Each tray is worn for a set amount of time, and together they progressively shift the teeth into place. Clear aligners are almost unnoticeable, can be taken out to eat or clean your teeth, and are more comfortable than braces. However, invisalign treatment might not work for more complicated orthodontic issues.

Retainers: After having your teeth straightened, you’ll need a retainer to keep them in their new places. They help keep teeth from reverting to their previous placements. To best suit the patient, retainers can be either detachable or fixed.

Orthodontic Headgear: Headgear braces can be used to realign the jaw and encourage healthy development in some patients with jaw discrepancies. It is common practice to wear a headgear only during certain times of the day or when sleeping.

You should see an orthodontist to figure out what kind of orthodontic care would be best for you. 

Better Oral Health: Orthodontic surgery can help fix teeth and jaws that aren’t in the right place, which can improve your oral health. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and care for, so you are less likely to get cavities, gum disease, or other dental problems. The proper placement of teeth also aids in a healthy bite. This makes it less likely that the teeth will wear down too much.

Improved Looks: Orthodontic treatment can make a big difference in how your smile looks. Straightening crooked or crowded teeth, closing gaps, and fixing bite problems can help you feel better about yourself and make your face look better overall.

Better Function and Comfort: If you fix tooth and jaw problems, your teeth and jaws will work and feel better. When your teeth are properly aligned, you can chew, talk, and bite better. This puts less stress on your jaw joints and relieves pain or discomfort caused by bite problems.

Preventing Dental Trauma: Teeth that stick out or are out of place are more likely to get hurt in crashes or while playing sports. With orthodontic treatment, these teeth can be moved to make them less likely to get hurt.

Better Jaw Alignment and Symmetry: Orthodontic treatment can fix misaligned jaws and help make faces look more balanced. Orthodontic treatment can improve the balance and symmetry of your face by putting your jaws in the right place.

Long-term Cost Savings: Taking care of orthodontic problems early on can help prevent more serious teeth problems down the road. By receiving orthodontic care, you can avoid paying for pricey dental procedures that might be necessary to correct issues brought on by crooked teeth or poor bites.

Options for Customized Treatment: Orthodontic treatment plans are made to fit the needs of each patient. Orthodontic advances like traditional braces, clear aligners, and lingual braces have given people more ways to straighten their teeth. This gives them the freedom to choose the method that works best for their lifestyle and tastes.

It’s important to remember that orthodontic treatment can have advantages that go beyond how your teeth look. A straighter, healthier smile can have a positive effect on self-esteem, social interactions, and general well-being.

Initial Pain or Discomfort: When you first get braces, it’s normal to feel pain or discomfort in your mouth. Most of the time, this pain is mild and should go away in a few days. During this time, over-the-counter pain medicines can help with any pain.

Changes to Your Diet: At first, you may find it helpful to eat foods that are soft and easy to chew. Avoid foods that are hard, sticky, or crunchy because they could damage your braces or hurt your mouth. During the first steps of treatment, your orthodontist will give you specific advice about what to eat.

Oral Hygiene: During orthodontic treatment, it is very important to maintain good oral hygiene. Your dentist will show you how to brush and floss properly while you have braces. It’s important to brush your teeth after every meal to get rid of food and plaque that can get stuck in your braces and make cavities and gum problems more likely.

Orthodontic Adjustments: During your treatment, your orthodontist will see you at certain times to make changes to your braces. Some brief pain or tightness in your mouth may come from these changes. Any pain should go away after a few days. It’s important to talk to your orthodontist if you have chronic pain or other worries.

Regular Check-ups: It’s important to see your orthodontist for regular check-ups. They will keep an eye on how your treatment is going, make any changes that are needed, and deal with any worries or problems that come up.

Sports and Physical Activities: It’s important to protect your braces if you play sports or do other physical activities. Your orthodontist can give you a mouthguard to protect your teeth and mouth while you play sports.

Avoid Bad Habits: Chewing on ice, biting your nails, or using your teeth to open packages are all bad habits that can damage your braces. These habits can break braces or wires, which can stop your treatment for a while.

Follow the Orthodontist’s Advice: Your dentist will tell you exactly how to take care of and maintain your braces. It’s important to follow these directions carefully to get the best results and reduce the chance of problems.

Remember that your specific recovery and aftercare instructions may be different based on your situation and the type of braces you have. In Turkey, it’s important to talk to your dentist to get personalized advice.

Dental History: The dentist will ask about previous dental procedures, surgeries, and continuing dental disorders. This helps them understand your dental needs and any factors that may affect treatment.

Medical History: The dentist will evaluate your medical history, including current diseases, medications, and allergies. Disclose any medical illnesses or drugs that may affect your oral health or treatment choice. Diabetes, heart disease, and certain medications can all have an impact on oral health.

Oral Exam: Your teeth, gums, jaws, and other oral structures will be examined. This exam may check for tooth decay, gum disease, jaw alignment, teeth alignment and oral health.

Diagnostic Tests: After the oral exam, the dentist may order dental X-rays, panoramic radiographs, or digital scans. These tests help diagnose and plan therapy by showing your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.

Treatment Planning: After reviewing your dental and medical history, oral exam, and diagnostic tests, the dentist will create a customized treatment plan. This plan will detail the dental treatment’s recommended treatments, dates, and outcomes.

Risk Assessment: The dentist will evaluate the treatment’s hazards based on your dental and medical history. This helps them detect and manage treatment problems.

Patient Communication: The dental professional will explain their findings, discuss treatment choices, and answer any questions during the assessment. They will explain the assessment results and treatment strategy.
