What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment causes malposition of teeth; It is a form of treatment based on regulating the upper-bottom jaw relationship depending on the temporomandibular joint in the jaw arch of the teeth with removable appliances or fixed brackets and wires, which we use in cases of alignment problems such as impaction, crowding, height or lowness of the teeth.

Orthodontic treatment is very valuable in terms of providing us with skeletal gains before puberty; However, we cannot do anything skeletally after puberty, that is, if the patient has survived puberty, we only achieve dental gains.

  Of course, a certain amount of rehabilitation, that is, improvements, is achieved, but if the patient comes to the doctor before adolescence, the door to success is open in almost everything we plan, for example; If the lower jaw is forward, we can move it back, if the upper jaw is forward, we can move it back, or vice versa, we can give the lower and upper jaw the shape we want, which is almost vital for the patient... Namely, the forwardness of the lower jaw can cause problems ranging from eating disorders to digestive system problems and snoring / apnea problems in the patient. It can cause respiratory system problems…

There is no such thing that will not get better again after puberty. Upper and lower jaw relations can be adjusted with orthognathic surgeries, which unfortunately are quite heavy surgeries.
