Orthodontics covers many problems of the teeth, face and jaw area. Braces are the most common orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatments carried out at an early age let the teeth settle into the correct positions in the jaw. For the healthy development of the teeth, it is very important that the necessary orthodontic treatment is carried out on time.
On the other hand, bite problems in the lower and upper jaw are also corrected with orthodontic treatments. The way to a strong and healthy mouth and an impressive smile goes through these treatments.
When Is Orthodontic Treatment Applied?
Orthodontic problems arise when the jaw or teeth are positioned incorrectly during development. Some situations that require orthodontic treatment are:
- One or more missing teeth, with the other teeth drifting into the gap,
- Not enough room in the jaw for the teeth to line up properly, and the resulting crowding,
- Cleft palate and lip,
- Mismatch between the jaw and face (for example, a jaw that is set back, forward or crooked),
- Wide gaps between the teeth,
- Gums that show too much when smiling,
- Jaw locking,
- Early loss of one or more baby teeth,
- Chewing and biting problems,
- Protruding upper jaw structure.
What Are the Orthodontic Treatment Methods?
These procedures aim to move the teeth into the position they should be in, to stop jaw growth and to make similar changes.
