Orthodontics

Orthodontic applications usually help to eliminate problems such as crooked teeth and incompatible jaws. It is a branch developed to ensure the straight alignment of the teeth and to align the colliding teeth in order. It also prevents crooked teeth from eroding the gums and causing bleeding. It is very important to determine the tooth structure and dental problems before the treatment are applied. Most problems with the jaw structure run in families and are inherited.

While most orthodontic treatments are applied, we give start by prioritizing the age of the person. In people of developmental age, if the lower or upper jaw is behind, it is treated with orthodontic methods.

The jaw structure becomes v-shaped due to the incorrect implementation of some functions. An example of these functions is mouth breathing instead of nose breathing. Apart from this, the jaw structure can deteriorate with the wrong applications made as a baby. Examples of these applications are the use of pacifiers, nail-biting, and the excessive use of feeding bottles in infants. Therefore, the jaw structure may deteriorate. In addition, if the upper jaw is narrow, it can be treated with the use of appliances.

What Does Orthodontic Treatment Include?

Orthodontic treatment is mostly used in jaw mismatches. If the jaw structure is large and the teeth remain small compared to the jaw structure, gaps may occur between the teeth. In addition, if the length of the tongue is longer than normal it can cause the opening of the teeth. The treatment of such problems is only achieved by orthodontics.

If we think another way round when the jaw structure is small and the teeth are big, then the teeth grow outside the jaw and distortion occurs in the tooth structure. As it is known, deciduous teeth fall out at a certain time. With the fall of the deciduous tooth before time, the cavity is filled by other teeth. Therefore, tooth displacement may occur. What’s more, some teeth may not erupt and stay under the palate and keep growing.

How Are Orthodontic Problems Treated?

Orthodontic treatment can be applied to all age groups. The duration of treatment and treatment planning vary according to the structure of the teeth and jaw, and according to the average age. In addition, while our clinic applies this treatment, it also performs procedures that provide an aesthetic appearance.

Snap-on Palate Holder (Appliances)

Nowadays, many alternative treatment methods have been developed for the solution of tooth and jaw problems. One of them is the detachable mouthpiece that people can use on their own. Snap-on palate is used to treat the crooked teeth and narrowness of the jaw. The palate holders, which are generally used for certain intervals, are an apparatus that people can easily put on and take off after a while. In addition, these palates are designed according to the jaw structure of the person.

In younger age groups, deciduous teeth may fall out early. Other teeth may slip into the primary teeth space and crooked teeth may occur. One of the methods developed to eliminate this distortion is the removable plate holder.

Why is a palate holder used?

The jaw structure of humans is hereditary. Some jaw structures are narrower than they should be, and it is not possible to fit all the teeth. Pre-intervention on these jaw structures facilitates the treatments to be applied after.

With the removable palate, the width of the jaw structure can be created, and comfortable dental treatments can be applied. Crossed teeth also cause breakage and damage to other teeth. Fracture formation is prevented by attaching it to the crooked tooth parts with the palate. Some habits in infancy can disrupt the tooth structure. Thumb sucking of babies puts pressure on the palate and causes the teeth to protrude.

How long is the palate holder used?

With the regular use of the detachable palate, improvement can be seen in the structure of the teeth and jaw in 6 or 8 months. These periods and the course of improvement should be followed by the specialist and the duration of use should be determined. Removal of appliances should be for cleaning and eating. Apart from this, the use of appliances should be continuous. Cleaning can be done with water and a brush.

Orthodontic Treatments

The jaw structures are one of the parts where the most deterioration and problems occur in the human body. The jaw structure can be anterior or posterior. In some cases, it causes orthodontic problems with jaw mismatch. Most orthodontic problems are seen from infancy. Thumb sucking puts pressure on the palate. Sucking pacifiers and nail-biting habits of children can cause orthodontic problems. In addition, premature loss of deciduous teeth causes crooked formation in other teeth, thus requiring orthodontic treatments.

With the application of orthodontic treatments, it is aimed to arrange the teeth correctly and to provide tooth alignment compatible with the jaw structure. Specialists decide to apply orthodontic treatments. When deciding on the treatment, the detection of crooked teeth, the determination of problems, and the methods of eliminating them are taken into consideration.
