Your smile is an important element that increases your self-confidence and reflects your personal style. However, irregular teeth and crooked jaws can negatively affect your smile. It can also cause joint problems in later ages and the development of caries due to areas that cannot be cleaned. This is where orthodontics comes into play.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that regulates the movement of teeth and jaws to ensure proper alignment of teeth, harmony of jaws and correct bite. An orthodontist who specializes in this field offers orthodontic treatments to all age groups, from children to adults.
One of the commonly used methods in orthodontic treatments is to align the teeth using metal brackets and wires. In addition, there are more aesthetic options such as transparent aligners or porcelain brackets for individuals with aesthetic concerns. These treatment methods are adjusted at regular intervals to control the movement of the teeth and achieve the desired alignment.
