ABOUT ORTHODONTICS IN TURKEY
For braces in Turkey the duration will depend on the situation but is usually between 18-24 months.
Dental Braces are bonded directly onto each tooth’s surface. It’s also possible to get clear invisible trays, which can straighten teeth without using traditional braces and wires. Invisible trays are a good option for patients who require simple orthodontic work. Invisible trays are custom-made clear removable trays that put pressure on the teeth and move them gradually into their correct position.
The four main appliances used in an orthodontic treatment are;
Fixed braces – are non-removable braces, which are made up of brackets that are glued onto each tooth and linked with stainless steel wires.
Removable braces – are plastic plates that cover the roof of the mouth and clip onto some of the teeth.
Functional appliances – are a pair of removable plastic braces that are joined together or designed to interact together, and they fit onto the upper and lower teeth.
Headgear – can be used with an orthodontic treatment. It is worn at night to help the repositioning of the teeth.
