Treatment Process

1

Exemination

Before starting the treatment, a detailed consultation is conducted with the patient and their parents. During this meeting, the structure of the mouth and teeth is evaluated, expectations are discussed, and the appropriate treatment approach is determined. Since orthodontic treatments are highly individualized, this step is crucial.

2

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Before starting orthodontic treatment, all necessary dental procedures inside the mouth must be completed. These preparations help build a healthy foundation for either clear aligner or braces treatment.

3

Dental Impression

Based on intraoral measurements, a personalized treatment plan is designed for the patient. Accurate measurement is essential to ensure that either clear aligners or braces can be used effectively and comfortably.

4

Treatment Education

The process of using braces or clear aligners is explained in detail. Patients are informed about how to clean them in different situations and what to pay attention to during daily use.

5

Follow-Up

Regular check-ups are scheduled throughout the treatment process. Dr. Sinem Uzuner evaluates whether the treatment is progressing as planned and intervenes if necessary. These check-ups play a critical role in achieving successful results.

👶 When should orthodontic treatment begin in children?

Clear aligner treatment and traditional braces can be applied to both adolescents and adults. Much more effective results can be achieved in individuals whose dental and bone development has been completed.

🧠 How can I tell if my child has an orthodontic problem?

There are several signs that may indicate an orthodontic issue in children, including crowded or misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, mouth breathing, early or late loss of baby teeth, thumb sucking beyond age 4, or jaw shifting and clicking.If you notice any of these symptoms, it is recommended to consult an orthodontist. A professional evaluation, even at an early age, can help detect potential problems and allow for timely intervention if needed.

⏱️ How long does orthodontic treatment take in children?

During the first few days of aligner changes, a mild pressure may be felt — this is normal and indicates that the aligners are working. Children typically adapt quickly, and significant pain is not expected.

🦷 Is post-treatment retention necessary in children?

Yes. After orthodontic treatment, retainer plates are used to prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions. This ensures the permanence of the results.

💸 How much does clear aligner treatment or traditional cost?

The cost of clear aligner treatment or braces treatment varies depending on the patient's dental structure, the duration of treatment, and the number of aligners required. Since the procedures are customized for each patient, it is not possible to give a standard price.
