Orthodontics

The natural beauty of your smile

​Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are harder to keep clean, are at risk of being lost early due to tooth decay and periodontal disease, and cause extra stress on the chewing muscles that can lead to headaches, TMJ syndrome, and neck, shoulder and back pain.

Teeth that are crooked or not in the right place can also detract from one’s appearance.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.

​When your teeth do not stand properly that is the point you need an orthodontist.

Istanbul Asia Dent usually looks carefully at what needs to be done and according to the result, therapy will be built that way. But what is an orthodontist’s job?

An orthodontist is a special dentist that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite.

​Orthodontics used to be called orthodontia – the word comes from the Greek orthos, meaning “straight, perfect or proper”, and dontos, which means “teeth”.

Orthodontics also includes cosmetic dentistry; when the patient’s aim is to improve his/her appearance.

​What is malocclusion?

​Malocclusion literally means bad bite. Some children’s jaws and teeth do not develop properly. Malocclusion refers to crooked, misaligned teeth and a fault in the relation between the bottom and top set of teeth (the two dental arches). This may develop because of injury to the teeth or facial bones, frequent thumb sucking, or for reasons unknown.

​Thumb sucking (or finger sucking) can result in localized deformation of the teeth and supporting bone. In order to restore a natural improvement, the thumb-sucking habit has to be stopped.

​Generally, malocclusions do not affect physical health, malocclusion is not a disease, it is a variation in the normal position of teeth. However, it may impact the shape of the person’s face and the appearance of their teeth, which can lead to embarrassment, a lack of self-confidence, and even depression.

​Especially this territory of dental treatment needs special knowledge. For this reason, Istanbul Asia Dent chooses orthodontics partners really carefully. Based on our method even the doctor colleague has to accept that he/she has to keep going to study.
