In orthodontic treatment
The relationship between teeth and jaw is evaluated.
Orthodontic treatment; It evaluates crowding, gaps and malocclusions together with teeth, jaws and surrounding tissues. The goal is not just aesthetics, but a healthy and sustainable oral function.
Similar-looking crowding can be associated with different bite problems. We therefore identify the clinical need before selecting the method.
We clinically examine areas that affect the position of the teeth, the relationship of the lower and upper jaw, smile line and oral care.
When necessary, we combine photographs, digital impressions and radiographic records to determine which tooth movements will be planned and the order of these movements.
We apply two basic treatment methods.Choosing braces treatment or Invisalign clear aligners. It is done according to the scope of the problem, anticipated movements and patient compliance.

With intraoral scanning
We create the digital startup record.
Before orthodontic planning, we create a three-dimensional record of the teeth, alignment and bite with the iTero intraoral scanner.
The treatment plan begins with a detailed record of the current tooth alignment.
Digital scanning; It helps us record the position and bite relationship of the teeth in three dimensions without using impression material. The records are evaluated together with clinical examination, photographs and necessary radiological images.
