Orthodontics – Wired Applications

• Smooth teeth help the person to bite, chew and speak effectively.
• Contributes to healthy teeth and gums.
• The susceptibility to gum disease and caries decreases.
• It prevents the development of different functional problems (joint complaints, etc.) that teeth are both better in function and appearance and appear more aesthetic.

In cases that cannot be corrected by orthodontic or orthopedic treatment, orthognatic surgery is applied. Disorders of the jaw and face may occur after birth or due to accidents and diseases. The mismatch of the jaws with respect to each other and face leads to both aesthetic and functional disorders in patients. With the help of advanced technology and surgical techniques, these disorders can be corrected.

Orthodontic examination is sometimes useful in children aged 5-6 years. Although orthodontic treatment is not applied at this age, some preventive orthodontic treatments are very useful. Orthodontic treatments to be applied at these ages are called preventive and protective orthodontic treatments.

INVISALIGN is an alternative treatment to regular braces, allowing you to smile confidently during your treatment. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign® straightens your teeth discreetly. The aligners need to be changed approximately every two weeks – your teeth move little by little, towards the smile you’ve always wanted.

Many different types of appliances are used to make the proper position of teeth, muscles and the jaws in the teeth straightening process. These appliances work by placing gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws. The severity of your problem will determine which orthodontic approach is to be taken for more effective result.
