Orthodontics in Adults

There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment can be performed at any age as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. 

Treatment : Correction of crooked teeth, closing gaps between teeth, and improving jaw closure and chewing function are achieved using clear aligners or wires.

Treatment Options

• Transparent Aligners (Invisalign) These are removable, digitally customized molds that are not visible from the outside and are designed specifically for the individual's teeth. They are frequently used because they don't affect social life or speech. With the Invisalign technique, they are changed approximately every 3 weeks to help straighten your teeth. During Invisalign treatment, removing and putting them back in during important meetings or while eating plays a significant role in ensuring comfort.
• Lingual Orthodontics: Braces are attached to the invisible inner surfaces of the teeth instead of the front surfaces. They may be preferred by adults with aesthetic concerns. Lingual braces (invisible) require more attention and significantly more thorough cleaning compared to other orthodontic treatments.
•  Metal Brackets: Metal-colored dental implants are a classic, fast-acting, and highly preferred option.

Differences and Advantages of Treatment in Adults

Adult bones are denser than children's, and treatment may take longer. The success of the treatment is directly and importantly dependent on the patient's consistent use of the aligners. Straight and aligned teeth are easier to clean. The risk of gum disease is reduced. While clear aligner treatments can sometimes yield results in a shorter time, traditional braces may be used in complex and challenging cases.

• Things to Consider During the Treatment Process: 
• Regular check-ups should not be neglected.
• Dental and oral hygiene should be carefully maintained. 
• The instructions for using the record and strings must be followed.
• Hard foods should be avoided.
