Braces
Braces aim to correct irregularities such as crowded or gapped teeth and upper and lower jaws that do not fit together properly, by moving the teeth slowly over time. Treatment is a process that takes time, and the change happens gradually. By correcting crooked teeth and bite problems, we design an aesthetic and healthy smile.
What is braces treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a branch that aims to correct crooked teeth and jaw misalignments with the help of braces or clear aligners. It provides an aesthetic smile and also makes it possible to clean the teeth more easily.
During the planning stage, the estimated duration and the bracket options to be used are shared with you in detail.
