Who is an Orthodontist?

Orthodontists are dentists who are trained in the treatment of orthodontic disorders. In order to become an orthodontist, a minimum of 4 years of orthodontic specialization training is required, following 5 years of dentistry education. To become an expert in this field, it is necessary to receive long-term training and practice.

Why Should Orthodontic Treatment Be Performed?

Orthodontic treatment has two purposes. To eliminate the patient's aesthetic concerns and the health problems caused by crooked teeth. Teeth that are not in proper alignment both spoil the aesthetic appearance and prevent the current function from being performed fully because they are difficult to clean. As this disorder in the teeth progresses, more advanced problems may occur. It can also cause many conditions such as gum recession and tooth loss. For this reason, orthodontic problems should be treated as soon as they are noticed.

At what age is orthodontic treatment performed?

Orthodontics is a treatment suitable for all ages. However, the sooner orthodontic treatment is started, the better. If the existing problem is only in the teeth, treatment can be started at a young age. If there is a problem in the skeletal structure as well as the dental structure, it is necessary to wait until adolescence to start orthodontic treatment. Treatment is also possible for orthodontic problems such as crowded teeth in adulthood. However, for adults, braces can disrupt the aesthetic appearance. For this reason, we recommend invisible clear aligner treatment for adults. Thanks to transparent aligners, your orthodontic treatment is not visible from the outside.
