Orthodontic treatment; It is the correction of tooth crowding and the idealization of the relationship between teeth and jaws. Crowded teeth do not only cause a bad aesthetic appearance, but also negatively affect the person’s eating and chewing. This situation may cause joint problems in the following years. At the same time, crowding increases caries and gingival problems due to insufficient cleaning and may cause tooth loss in the early period. For this reason, orthodontic treatments are necessary not only for aesthetic concerns, but also for maintaining oral hygiene and preventing future oral and dental disorders.
For this reason, it is beneficial for children to be examined by an orthodontist from the mixed dentition period (67 years old). Early diagnosis can shorten the treatment process even more. During this period, it can be determined whether the teeth carry the risk of crowding. In addition, some factors that may cause confusion in the future can be ruled out.
Orthodontic treatments are a time-consuming treatment. Patient compliance and doctor-patient relationship are important in treatment.
Orthodontic treatment is applied not only to children and young people, but also to adults in recent years.
In order not to affect the daily social life of adult patients, lingual orthodontics (wire treatment applied to the inner part of the teeth) or invisalign (transparent plaques) treatment systems have been developed.
In both of these systems, the patients can be corrected without any aesthetic problems in their teeth. Treatment times vary from person to person and the condition of the crowding.
