In our orthodontics department; treatment applications related to the correction of crowded teeth and the elimination of incompatibilities in the teeth, jaw and face are performed.
Orthodontic treatments applied by orthodontists (orthodontic specialist) ensure that the jawbone and teeth are placed in the correct place and position. Correction of dental crowding not only provides an important aesthetic gain, but also contributes to oral and dental health.
Why Orthodontics?
It is more difficult to maintain oral hygiene with crowded teeth and therefore gum disease and caries occur more easily. In case of crowding and joint relationship is disturbed, chewing cannot be done completely and some problems start in the digestive system. In cases where the upper and lower teeth are not fully compatible with each other, the jaw joint or a single tooth may be overloaded, leading to painful and difficult to treat problems. Aesthetically, incredible changes can be created, especially in some cases.
