Orthodontics diagnose and treat conditions that cause deterioration of tooth and jaw harmony. In addition to the disorders that disturb people in terms of aesthetic appearance, congenital or subsequent problems that directly affect life are treated.
Dentists can tell whether orthodontic work is needed by looking at a patient's dental history, taking a plaster model of their teeth, or looking at an x-ray of their teeth. When a dentist tells you that orthodontic work is needed, they can refer you to an orthodontist who can provide you with the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
An orthodontist;
- Deformities such as crooked or crooked teeth,
- Congenital and subsequent deformities of the jaw, jaw fractures,
- Congenital or subsequent structural defects in the chin caused by finger sucking or wrong feeding bottle,
