Frequently asked questions

I'm older now. Is orthodontic treatment suitable for me?

Yes. As long as the bone and gum tissue surrounding the teeth are healthy, orthodontic treatment can also be applied to adults. There is no strict upper age limit for teeth-straightening treatments.

Which is better, braces or clear aligners?

Both treatment methods have their own advantages. Clear aligners are less noticeable from the outside and can be removed while eating. Fixed braces, since they can't be removed by the patient, keep working throughout the day. The most suitable method is determined after examination and X-ray assessment.

Does it hurt when braces are put on?

When brackets are bonded to the tooth surface, no needle or anesthesia is needed, and no pain is felt during the procedure. In the first few days after the wires are fitted, mild pressure and aching can occur as the teeth begin to move.

Which foods should I avoid while wearing braces?

You should avoid acidic drinks, sticky sweets, chewing gum, very hard nuts, and hard foods that could break the brackets. It's safer to cut foods like apples, carrots, and hard bread into small pieces rather than biting into them directly.

On average, how long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time can vary depending on the degree of crowding, jaw structure, and the method used. Orthodontic treatments generally take between six months and two and a half years. A more precise duration can be determined after examination and X-ray assessment.

There are big gaps between my teeth. Can they be closed without braces?

In suitable cases, small gaps between teeth can be closed in a single session using composite bonding or composite laminate veneers. However, the cause and size of the gap should be assessed to determine the most suitable treatment option.
