Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic Treatments: Modern Teeth Straightening Methods with Fixed and Removable Appliances

Orthodontic treatments cover fixed and removable appliances applied to correct the teeth and jaw structure in a harmonious way. These treatment methods are developed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth, optimise the jaw structure and provide functional harmony. Below, you can find detailed information about classic metal bracket treatment, aesthetic ceramic bracket applications and, especially for patients in the growth stage, functional appliance applications.

Treatment with Metal Brackets

Metal brackets are one of the most widely used methods in orthodontic treatment. Thanks to their durability, effectiveness and economical structure, they are preferred among both young and adult patients.

• Features:
• Use of strong and durable material
• Controlled guidance of tooth movements
• Applications with broad clinical experience
• Advantages:
• Effective results during the application process
• Stability in long-term use
• Suitability for a wide range of cases

Treatment with Ceramic (Porcelain) Brackets

Ceramic brackets offer a more aesthetic alternative to metal brackets. By matching the tooth colour, they have the advantage of being inconspicuous during the treatment process and are an ideal option especially for patients who care about their appearance.

• Features:
• Design that matches the tooth colour and is almost invisible
• Superior performance in aesthetic terms
• Sufficient durability and comfort
• Advantages:
• Does not affect social life during treatment
• Preferred in patients with high aesthetic expectations
• Gives confidence with a high success rate

Functional Appliances (to Guide Growth and Development)

Functional appliances are used especially in children in the growth stage to guide jaw development and ensure the harmonious alignment of the teeth. These appliances help prevent jaw discrepancies that may occur in the future by supporting the natural development of the jaw muscles and tooth structure.

• Features:
• Positively affects jaw development
• Specially designed for patients in the growth period
• May include both fixed and removable elements
• Advantages:
• Increases long-term treatment success
• Provides maximum benefit from growth potential
• Reduces complex treatment needs with early intervention
