Orthodontics is the science that include diagnosis and treatments of disorders in the face, jaw and teeth . In early childhood period, the follow-up of the jaw development and the control of the correct position of the teeth are also provided by orthodontics. Also in adults, crookedness and gaps of the teeth can be corrected by orthodontics and patients are be able to have a natural and beautiful smile with own teeth.
Genetic factors, environmental factors and bad habits may cause orthodontic problems. Bad habits such as mouth breathing, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting may cause jaw stenosis and permanent closing problems . Little problems such as caries and early loss of milk teeth may cause big problems such as eruption of permanent teeth in wrong position. Because of this, children have to be under the control of an orthodontist without waiting for all teeth to erupt.
Different treatment methods can be offered to patients who want orthodontic treatment. For example, in order to prevent jaw problems in children during the growth and development period , removable appliances can be made. In adults, metal and porcelain brackets can be used in fixed orthodontic treatment, as well as lingual (internal) bracket systems and transparent plaques , which are produced individually and satisfy the aesthetic expectations of the patients, With these high aesthetic treatment methods, the patient can be treated without being seen his/her own braces.
