Gaziemir orthodontic treatments are applied to correct crooked teeth, close gaps between teeth, and establish a healthy bite relationship. At Dentme Gaziemir Oral and Dental Health Clinic, personalized orthodontic solutions are offered for children, adolescents, and adults through both traditional braces and clear aligner (Invisalign) options.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that aims to position the teeth and jaws in their ideal alignment. Crowded teeth, spacing issues, jaw discrepancies, and bite problems are corrected through orthodontic treatments.
Orthodontic treatment not only provides an aesthetic smile but also facilitates easier oral hygiene, balances chewing function, and helps prevent long-term jaw joint problems. At Dentme Gaziemir Clinic, orthodontic treatment planning is tailored for all age groups.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic treatments are generally divided into two categories: fixed and removable. Fixed orthodontics are applied using braces systems, while removable orthodontics are performed with clear aligners.
Clear aligner (Invisalign) treatments apply controlled forces to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. This method is frequently preferred by adults with aesthetic concerns, offering a comfortable and nearly invisible treatment process.
Braces and Clear Aligner Options
At Dentme Gaziemir Orthodontic Clinic, different systems are applied based on the patient’s dental structure and aesthetic expectations:
- Metal Braces: A durable and effective traditional orthodontic system.
- Porcelain (Clear) Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that provide a more aesthetic appearance.
- Clear Aligners (Invisalign): A wire-free orthodontic method that is removable and comfortable.
- Self-Ligating Bracket Systems: Offer faster and more comfortable results with reduced friction.
Orthodontic Treatment Process
Before treatment, a detailed oral examination, digital measurements, and radiographic evaluations (if necessary) are performed. Based on these findings, a personalized treatment plan is created.
Braces treatments typically last between 18–30 months, while clear aligner treatments are usually completed within 6–18 months. Throughout the treatment, regular check-ups are conducted to monitor tooth movement and make necessary adjustments.
Post-Orthodontic Treatment Care
After treatment completion, retainers (fixed wires or removable appliances) are used to maintain the new positions of the teeth. This phase is crucial for the long-term stability of the treatment results.
With proper brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, orthodontic treatment results can be preserved for many years.
