Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with malocclusion, i.e. problems in the alignment of the teeth and dentofacial disharmony. Orthodontic treatment aims to improve the masticatory and speech functions in addition to the improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the patient. As a result of the treatment, an ideal jaw relationship and a smooth alignment of teeth are achieved.<\/p>\n

A number of medical dental materials such as braces, clear aligners (invisalign), jaw appliances are used in the orthodontic treatment to achieve these results.<\/p>\n

As a result of all these measurements and analyses, you are provided a treatment plan with its alternative based on the diagnosis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At the end of orthodontic treatment, the teeth are cleaned after the braces are removed. The preservation of the result is as important as the treatment. Therefore, at the end of the treatment, fixed or removable guards called as retainers are prepared in order to prevent teeth from going back to their original positions.<\/p>\n

Fixed retainer is bonded to the inner surfaces of the front teeth to fix the teeth together. They do not affect speech and toothbrushing.<\/p>\n

Removable retainers are made by taking an impression of your teeth in their current position. These transparent retainers are also invisible and can be removed at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
