Orthodontic Treatments
What is Orthodontic Treatment? To Whom Is It Applied?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that also treats occlusion disorders of the teeth by placing the teeth and jaws in their proper positions relative to the face. Orthodontic treatments are conservative treatments that can be applied to everyone of all ages. The important thing here is that the teeth, gums and bone should be healthy.
What are the Treatment Options in Orthodontic Treatments?
Orthodontic treatments can be divided into two types as wire (traditional) treatments and treatments applied with clear aligners without wires. Traditional treatments, braces can be done by placing them on the outer surface of the teeth or on the inner surface of the teeth. Nowadays, with the development of digital orthodontics, clear aligner treatments are also preferred. In these treatments, also known as invisible orthodontics, patients can see the result of the treatment before starting the treatment.
What are the Advantages of Invisible Orthodontics (Invisalign)?
Since the visibility of the aligners is very low in Invisalign clear aligner treatments, they are almost unnoticeable from the outside. Since it can be put on and taken off at any time, treatment can be interrupted on special days and in special meetings, and they do not affect the quality of life of the patients. Since it is removed during brushing and there is no attachment such as brackets or wires on the teeth, it can be easily brushed and oral hygiene is provided easily.
Invisalign treatment is a treatment that can be applied to both adults and children.
Patient compliance increases even more with Invisalign aligners, as it provides the opportunity to see the treatment result at the beginning of orthodontic treatment.
