Orthodontic Treatment Expert Clinic in Istanbul
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that diagnoses, tries to prevent and treats crowded teeth and mismatched jaw alignments. Dentists who specialize in orthodontics are called orthodontists.
Why do orthodontic problems occur and how are they treated?
Disorders involving the jaws (such as overbite or underbite) are usually inherited. In this case, the method of treatment is decided according to the age of the patient. If the patient is in adolescence and has a problem with the upper or lower jaw, it can be treated with orthodontic methods. If the patient is an adult, severe skeletal disorders are treated with a combination of orthodontics and surgery. Jaw incompatibilities may occur due to functional disorders (such as mouth breathing). Since the upper jaw is generally narrow in a patient with mouth breathing, it is in a V form.
Habits like using a pacifier or bottle for a long time, sucking fingers, biting nails, etc. may cause orthodontic disorders. Habits should be treated as early as possible (7-10 years old). Thus, skeletal disorder that will be adversely affected by the use of a simple appliance is prevented. If habits are noticed at an early age, they can be prevented by some habit-breaking appliances. Skeletal stenosis in the upper jaw can be treated with orthodontic appliances.
Sometimes the individual takes the jawbone sizes from one parent and the tooth sizes from the other. If the jaw is large and the teeth are small, the teeth will have gaps or vice versa.
If the tongue is larger than normal, the presence of extracted tooth cavities in the mouth also causes gaps between the teeth.
If the jawbone is small and the teeth are large, the teeth cannot fit in the jaw and crowding occurs.
Another reason for crowded teeth is early or late loss of milk teeth. Each milk tooth has a falling time. For example, if a deciduous tooth that has to fall at the age of 10 falls out at the age of 8, the other teeth in the mouth slide towards this gap and the tooth that needs to come out from there cannot find a place for itself. In this case, this tooth starts to rub on the outer or inner side of the tooth arch or in some cases remains impacted.
Can orthodontic treatment be done at any age?
There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. However, treatment planning and duration may change according to age. In recent years, adult orthodontics has become widespread all over the world. It is possible to minimize aesthetic concerns by using porcelain brackets. In recent years, orthodontic treatments on teeth or treatments using transparent plaques have become an important alternative for adults.
