Uneven teeth and structural defects in many people's teeth cause psychological problems like lack of self confidence and inferiority complex. From a medical perspective, interface decays are observed in people with uneven teeth, no matter how well the person performs mouth care, dental plaques cannot be adequately removed, and gum swells and bleeds. In further unevenness problems and orthodontic problems covering upper and lower jawbone, it is possible that the person faces chewing problems and pain in temporomandibular joint. All such problems can be corrected via orthodontic treatment.
If there is just unevenness or gaps in the teeth, orthodontic treatment is possible for any age. There is no age restriction. If the problem involves deviation in interrelationship of jaws along with unevenness, and there is a defect in the person’s profile, treatment must be applied between the ages 9-14 in general. Treatment process lasts for 3 months thru 30 months, depending on the patient’s problem and age.
In general, grown-up people try to avoid orthodontic treatment, on the fear that they will have to live with brackets on the teeth for a long time. Brackets made of porcelain in tooth color solve the aesthetical problem to large extents. Also, we have a system called e-Cligner, which is newly introduced in orthodontics dentistry, using transparent elastic plates instead of brackets. This system has already become a preferred treatment method, as patients do not experience any aesthetical problem during the treatment.
Transparan Plaque Treatment(Aligner-invisalign)
The measurements taken from the patient's mouth are specially calculated by computer and a certain number of transparent plaques to be userd during the treatment are produced. By using these plaques for an aerage of 20 hours a day, thhe teeth are straigtened.
