Orthodontic Treatment
Crooked teeth are one of the most bothersome issues for people in their smiles today. In addition to this, other factors such as spaced teeth and the incompatibility of the jaws with each other can negatively affect both the arrangement of the teeth and the overall facial aesthetics, distorting the chewing function and appearance. All of these issues related to tooth alignment and jaw structure can be resolved with orthodontic treatment, also known as braces treatment.

While it is difficult to clean the food that enters the teeth in wire usage, transparent aligners can be removed and teeth can be brushed normally. As it is known, braces are fixed and stay on your tooth throughout the treatment process.

Like in all other dental treatments, the duration of treatment varies from person to person and the size of the problem and the patient’s compliance with the treatment affect this period. Provided that the aligners are worn for at least 20 hours a day as recommended by the doctor, treatment is completed in about 8 to 10 months in about 60% of cases. In the remaining 40%, a period of 14 months may be necessary. In rare cases, treatment may need to be continued for up to 16 months.
Are there any health hazards of transparent aligners?
Transparent aligners are specially manufactured in modern laboratories, and therefore the materials they are made of do not contain any components harmful to health.
Will there be a recurrence in the teeth after treatment? After orthodontic treatment with braces or transparent aligners, a thin protective wire is placed inside to stabilize the position of the teeth. In addition, your dentist will tell you how you should behave after treatment and make suggestions. If you behave according to the recommendations, your likelihood of having problems after treatment will be very low.
How old can children receive invisalign treatment?
In order to receive invisalign treatment, first of all, all your child’s baby teeth must have fallen out. In addition, the second large molar tooth is also requested to have erupted. These correspond to approximately 12-13 years of age. Accordingly, orthodontic treatment with transparent aligner can be applied to any individual between the ages of 12-80 who meet the necessary conditions without any age restriction.
