Correct Dental and Jaw Misalignments with Braces (Orthodontics)
The method used to correct alignment issues such as gaps between teeth and teeth that push against each other is known as orthodontic treatment with braces.
What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a method that treats dental and jaw misalignments using brackets adhered to the teeth and wires that pass through them. By applying force to the teeth with the help of wires and brackets, teeth are moved into the desired position.
Why Choose Orthodontics?
1. Aesthetic facial appearance is significantly influenced by having teeth in their natural alignment.
2. Crooked and overlapping teeth are difficult to clean and maintain, which can lead to cavities and gum issues, and eventually, tooth loss.
3. Correcting bite problems with orthodontics can also positively impact the patient's overall health and quality of life.
What to Consider When Choosing Orthodontic Treatment?
Patients who dislike the appearance of metal wires and brackets used in traditional orthodontics may opt for less visible solutions. Invisalign, a nearly invisible and transparent treatment option that is also removable, is preferred by many patients. Another alternative is lingual orthodontics, where brackets and wires are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, making them invisible from the outside. Additionally, ceramic brackets offer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option.
What to Consider When Choosing a Practitioner and Clinic?
Orthodontic treatment requires specialized experience and knowledge and should be performed by an experienced and expert dentist. A clinic with a strong foundation in orthodontics and success in other dental specialties, providing comprehensive care, is essential.
Your Health is Worth It
Although the treatment duration may be longer, considering the benefits orthodontics offers to your health and facial aesthetics, it is worth investing in for your well-being.
