Orthodontics, a specialized field within dentistry, focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned and irregular teeth by controlling their alignment. In cases such as an underdeveloped or overdeveloped lower jaw, treatment is planned based on the patient’s age. During adolescence, if the upper or lower jaw structure is underdeveloped, orthodontic solutions are often effective.
For adults with skeletal issues, solutions are provided through a combination of orthodontics and surgical procedures. These treatments are not solely for aesthetic purposes. They also aim to:
- Prevent potential gum diseases
- Avoid jaw joint issues
- Improve chewing function
- Address speech disorders
Orthodontic services are part of the treatments we provide at our clinic and can be planned through preliminary examinations using intraoral images and X-rays. For patients visiting from other cities or countries, we offer accommodation in contracted hotels. You can reach us 24/7 before and after treatment.
Why Should I Get Orthodontic Treatment?
Many people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment straightens the teeth or moves them into a better position. This can improve the appearance of the teeth and the way they bite together, and it also makes them easier to clean.
Some people have upper front teeth that stick out, which may look unappealing and are more likely to get damaged. Orthodontic treatment can realign them. Or sometimes the upper and lower jaws do not meet correctly, causing teeth to appear unattractive and bite incorrectly. Orthodontic treatment can correct both issues.
When teeth don’t meet properly, it can strain the jaw muscles, leading to jaw and joint problems, and sometimes headaches. Orthodontic treatment helps distribute bite pressure more evenly, reducing strain.
How Should I Take Care of My Braces and Teeth?
During orthodontic treatment, regular dental checkups are essential. Additionally, extra oral care is needed:
- Clean your teeth thoroughly every day, including between your teeth if possible. Braces are delicate and need to be cleaned carefully to avoid breakage. Your dental team will show you techniques based on the type of appliance you’re wearing.
- Reduce the frequency of consuming sugary foods and drinks. Avoid sticky, hard
