Orthodontics in Turkey
Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects the relationship between the teeth, jaws and face, improving how teeth look and work.
The basics
What is orthodontic treatment?
Most treatment uses braces. Some cases need a tooth extraction, and jaw surgery is occasionally needed for skeletal problems. Teeth are often sore for a short time after braces are adjusted; this settles.
Stages
The stages of treatment
A complete analysis is the most important step.
- Examination
- Records: X-rays, photos and models or scans of your teeth
- Diagnosis
- Planning
- Treatment
Age
At what age can I have orthodontic treatment?
Adolescence is often the easiest time, but adults can have orthodontic treatment too. Having enough healthy teeth matters more than age. For children, it may be best to wait until enough adult teeth have come through.
Risks
Can braces damage my teeth?
Braces themselves do not damage teeth, but brackets and wires trap food and plaque. Poor cleaning and sugary food and drink can cause permanent damage, so careful brushing is essential.
