Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that mainly diagnoses, controls, and focuses on the prevention and treatment of maladjusted and crowded teeth. This specialty applies various treatment methods to ensure the correct position of the teeth and create an aesthetic smile.

Why Do Orthodontic Problems Occur, and How are They Treated?


Orthodontic disorders, such as the lower jaw being in front or behind, play a critical role in determining treatment methods depending on the age of the patient. If the upper and lower jaw structure is behind during adolescence, effective treatment methods can be applied with orthodontic techniques. However, in adults, a combination of orthodontics and surgical intervention is usually required for the treatment of skeletal disorders. Jaw mismatches can be observed due to functional disorders, such as mouth-breathing habits. In mouth-breathers, the upper part of the jaw may remain narrow, resulting in a V-shaped jaw structure.

In Which Cases Are Dental Implants Applied?

Harmful habits such as prolonged bottle or pacifier use, finger sucking, and nail-biting cause orthodontic disorders. It is important to correct these habits as early as possible because they affect the completion of skeletal development. Conditions such as a larger-than-normal tongue or the presence of extraction gaps lead to gaps between the teeth. If the jaw structure is small and the teeth are large, the teeth may not fit in the jaw and crowding may occur. Loss of deciduous teeth in the early or late period also causes crowded teeth. With the arrival of permanent teeth in place of the deciduous teeth that fall out in the early period, the teeth that slide into these gaps cause other teeth not to find a place and cause crowding.
