Orthodontics: Correct Solutions in Modern Dental Treatment

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that aims to ensure the harmony of teeth, jaw structure and facial aesthetics. Crooked, misaligned or non-functional teeth not only create an aesthetic problem, but can also negatively affect basic functions such as chewing, speaking and oral hygiene. As Biruni University Hospital, we aim to solve your orthodontic problems with modern treatment methods and give you a healthy smile.

Why is Orthodontics Important?

Orthodontic treatment ensures that the teeth and jaw structure are brought into the correct positions. The treatment eliminates not only aesthetic concerns but also health problems:

• Improving Chewing Function: Incompatibility between teeth can prevent proper chewing of food. Correctly aligned teeth are also important for healthy digestion.

• Elimination of Speech Problems: Disorders in the tooth and jaw structure can cause difficulties in speaking. Orthodontic treatment solves these problems and provides more fluent speech.

• Facilitating Oral Hygiene: Crooked teeth can make brushing and flossing difficult. This can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. With the treatment, the teeth can be easily cleaned.

• Preventing Tooth Wear: Incompatible teeth can be exposed to excessive pressure during chewing and can cause wear over time. Orthodontic treatment protects the natural structure of the teeth.

In Which Situations Is Orthodontic Treatment Required?

There are many different situations that require orthodontic treatment:

• Cropped Teeth: It occurs when the teeth are not in the correct positions and can cause health problems as well as an aesthetic appearance.
• Open Bite: It is the situation where the upper and lower teeth do not fully contact. It may cause chewing difficulties and speech problems.
• Deep Bite: This is the situation where the upper teeth completely cover the lower teeth and can put pressure on the jaw structure.
• Cross Bite: This is the situation where the upper teeth close inward on the lower teeth. It can negatively affect the development of the jawbone.
• Gaped Teeth: This is the situation where the spaces between the teeth are too large. It can cause both aesthetic and functional problems.
• Jaw Irregularities: If the upper or lower part of the jawbone is not in the correct position, it disrupts facial symmetry and tooth harmony.
• Orthodontic Treatment Methods

Orthodontic treatment methods specifically determined for the needs of each patient are applied at Biruni University Hospital:

• Metal Brackets: It is one of the traditional orthodontic treatment methods. With its durable structure, it is an effective solution in bringing the teeth into the correct position.
• Transparent Brackets: Brackets made of transparent materials are used for patients with aesthetic concerns. They are less noticeable compared to metal brackets.
• Lingual Orthodontics: Thanks to the brackets placed on the back surface of the teeth, the treatment becomes invisible from the outside. It is especially preferred among adult patients.
• Transparent Plates (Invisalign): They are removable and almost invisible plates used to straighten teeth. It is a comfortable and aesthetic option.
• Functional Appliances: Appliances used in the treatment of jaw development disorders generally help the correct development of the jaw structure in children.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

The orthodontic treatment process requires comprehensive planning and regular check-ups:

• Diagnosis and Planning: During the first examination, a detailed analysis of the teeth and jaw structure is performed. A treatment plan is created with digital x-rays and 3D imaging technologies.
• Treatment Start: Brackets, transparent plates or appliances are applied according to the determined method. The treatment period may vary depending on the patient's condition.
• Regular Check-ups: During the treatment, the movements of the teeth are monitored with regular check-ups and the necessary adjustments are made.
• Post-Treatment: After the treatment is completed, reinforcement treatment is applied to maintain the new positions of the teeth. The teeth are fixed with appliances called retainers.

Who Can Get Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic treatment can be applied to all age groups, from children to adults. Treatments started early in children help direct jaw development correctly. In adults, aesthetic and functional improvements can be made thanks to the mobility of the teeth.
