Who is orthodontic treatment suitable for?

Healthy teeth, jaw, and oral structure significantly enhance quality of life. Orthodontic treatment is suitable for a wide age range—from children to adults. It helps correct crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and jaw misalignments; eliminates aesthetic concerns; and improves chewing function. Throughout the treatment process, we maintain continuous communication to ensure a comfortable, healthy, and safe experience for you.

Orthodontic Braces Treatment Process

1

Consultation

Before starting treatment, a detailed consultation is conducted. We assess the alignment of the teeth, jaw structure, and bite issues to determine the most suitable orthodontic method. Suitability for braces is evaluated, and a personalized treatment plan is created. This initial step lays the foundation for the entire treatment process.

2

Initial Assessment

This process is not only important for properly aligning the teeth, but also for correctly guiding the development and positioning of the jaw structure

3

Taking Dental Impressions

Depending on the treatment plan, dental impressions are taken using either digital scanners or traditional methods. These measurements allow for the creation of custom-made fixed orthodontic appliances (brackets and wires). Accurate measurements directly influence the success of the treatment.

4

Braces Placement & Patient Instruction

Brackets and wires are applied to the patient’s teeth. After application, the patient is given detailed instructions about oral hygiene, brace care, and what to do in case of breakage or discomfort. Following these guidelines carefully is essential for the effectiveness of the treatment.

5

Regular Check-ups

Orthodontic treatment requires regular check-up appointments. During each visit, Dr. Sinem Uzuner evaluates tooth movement and makes adjustments to wires or elastics if necessary. These follow-ups ensure timely completion of the treatment and lasting results.

How long does orthodontic braces treatment take?

The duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of the patient’s orthodontic issue. It typically lasts between 12 and 24 months. In more complex cases, it may take up to 30 months. Regular check-ups help prevent the treatment from being prolonged.

Does braces treatment cause pain?

Mild discomfort or pressure may occur when braces are first fitted or adjusted. This usually subsides within 2–3 days. Painkillers are rarely needed. The body quickly adapts to the braces.

What if there is a jaw problem during orthodontic treatment?

In cases of jaw misalignment, orthodontic treatment may need to be combined with orthopedic appliances or jaw surgery. Early intervention is especially important for upper-lower jaw discrepancies. In adults, a combined treatment plan can be created.

Will the teeth shift again after treatment ends?

Tedavi sonrası pekiştirme aşaması ihmal edilirse dişler eski pozisyonlarına geri dönebilir. Bu yüzden tedavi bitiminde şeffaf plak (retainer) veya sabit tel kullanımı önerilir. Bu aşama da en az tedavinin kendisi kadar önemlidir.

How much does orthodontic braces treatment cost?

The cost of braces varies depending on the type of orthodontic issue, treatment duration, type of brackets used (metal, ceramic, lingual, etc.), and individual needs. For this reason, it’s not possible to provide a fixed price. The most accurate cost estimate is given after an examination by a specialist orthodontist. Following the consultation, a suitable treatment plan is created and the patient is informed about the estimated cost.
