Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the specialty area dealing with the treatment of skeletal anomalies in maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) jaw relations, crowding on the dental arch, and occlusion (bite) disorders.

Incorrect bites can cause chewing dysfunctions, temporomandibular joint disorders, and periodontal tissue destruction in the long term. Clinical applications vary according to the patient's age and dentition period.

In addition to traditional metal fixed orthodontic agents, bracketless clear aligner systems and ceramic (clear) bracket technologies are current treatment alternatives for patients suitable for medical indications.

Prophylactic (preventive) orthodontics and functional jaw orthopedics methods are also applied in patients during growth and development periods. Treatments are initiated by specialist physicians examining the patients' cephalometric and volumetric films digitally in millimeter isolation.

Orthodontics not only optimizes oral health but also regulates biomechanics..
