Orthodontics
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that aims to achieve both an aesthetic and functional oral structure by ensuring the ideal alignment of teeth and jaws. Crooked teeth, malocclusions, or gaps between teeth can be corrected through orthodontic treatments to create a healthy and attractive smile. At İrem Dental Clinic, orthodontic treatments are offered across a wide range, from traditional braces to clear aligners, and the treatment plan is personalised based on the patient’s age, dental structure, and aesthetic expectations.

How is orthodontics treatment performed?
Examination and Diagnosis
An analysis is conducted using panoramic X-rays, cephalometric X-rays, and an intraoral examination.
Treatment Planning
Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment options such as fixed braces (metal/clear), lingual braces, or clear aligners are determined.
Treatment Application
The chosen method is applied and monitored closely throughout the course of treatment.
Metal Braces
The most durable and widely used orthodontic treatment method.
Aesthetic (Clear) Braces
Provide an aesthetic appearance with tooth-coloured or clear materials.
Lingual Orthodontics
Wires are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth and are invisible from the outside.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
A modern, invisible, and removable alternative.
Regular Checkups
Checkups are scheduled approximately every 4–6 weeks.
Retention
A retainer or fixed wire is used to maintain the results achieved at the end of treatment.
