What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics is a science that examines the relationship of the teeth with the jaw bones, the jaw bones with each other and the jaw bones with the skull bones. Orthodontic treatment is a way of treating the disorders in this system.
How long will my orthodontic treatment take?
Active treatment takes an average of 1.5 – 2 years. However, the time varies according to the type of treatment, age of the patient and cooperation. It can be shorter as well as longer.
Will it hurt or hurt my teeth or me when inserting the braces?
Brackets are attached to your teeth with a special adhesive and do not hurt at all. Some soft tissue injuries may occur in the lips and cheeks in the first few days of wearing, but this is temporary.
During orthodontic treatment, the risk of tooth decay increases, so it is very important that food residues do not accumulate between the brackets. Teeth and brackets should be cleaned after every meal.
