Orthodontics

Orthodontics : It is the field of dentistry that carries out studies to detect and treat the distortion and incompatibility of the tooth structure. The health personnel who detect and examine the irregularities in the teeth, jaws and in general around the mouth are called orthodontists. Orthodontists have many tasks such as wearing braces, removing deformities in the mouth and jaw, correcting the crookedness and crookedness of the teeth, etc.

The treatment of distortions in work is very important in terms of aesthetics, hygiene and function. The most obvious complaint of patients in untreated distortions is aesthetics. But the problem is not limited to aesthetics. With crooked teeth, the patient cannot chew effectively, may experience digestive problems as a result, the development of one-sided chewing habits may lead to joint problems in the future, gum problems and tooth decay may occur because the crooked teeth cannot be cleaned well. This is where orthodontic treatment intervenes.

How Is Orthodontic Treatment Done?

The orthodontic treatment process consists of several steps. Generally, it can be listed as 3 steps. The first step of orthodontic treatment is the examination step. It completes the steps to be taken and the process planning by performing an orthodontic examination. During this examination, both the mouth structure and the jaw are carefully examined. The second step is the preparation process. Issues determined during the inspection are listed in order of urgency. An order of importance is determined depending on which of the detected dental and oral problems fall into the orthodontic specialty. Hygiene is the first criterion in the preparation phase. After the necessary hygiene steps are completed, it is now possible to proceed to the application step. After the oral care is completely completed, the application is started in accordance with the tooth structure and situation.
