Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry used for the treatment of tooth and jaw disorders. Orthodontic treatments are treatments where the teeth are placed in the correct position and the jaw is properly shaped, providing a smooth and aesthetic appearance of the teeth while also facilitating eating, speaking and healthy functioning of the teeth and jaw.

The most common orthodontic treatments include:

• Metal braces (traditional orthodontic treatment)
• Surgical orthodontics
• Invisalign (invisible braces)
• Lingual orthodontics (braces on the tongue side)
• Smart-clip (removable braces)

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to improve the patient's dental and jaw health and aesthetics. Treatment time and cost may vary according to the patient's needs and are determined by the dentist.

Who is orthodontic treatment for?

Orthodontic treatment can be performed on children, adults or the elderly. The following situations show that orthodontic treatment is necessary:

• Gaps between teeth or excess teeth
• Hitting together of the upper or lower teeth
• Bite disorder
• Upper or lower teeth not in the correct position
• Protrusion of the upper or lower teeth from the front or back of the jaw
• Disorder of teeth as a result of enlargement or shrinkage of the jawbone
• Oral and gingival diseases

Every patient's needs are different and it is recommended that you consult a dentist to determine the best treatment.

Transparent aligners

Transparent aligners are removable braces used as part of invisible orthodontic treatments. Transparent aligners work like braces, but are thinner and more transparent, making them look more aesthetically pleasing. Transparent aligners do not restrict the teeth like metal braces and offer a more comfortable orthodontic treatment experience.
