Orthodontics is the branch of Dentistry that regulates the relationship between the jaws, the relationship between the teeth, and the closure of the teeth according to the position of the jaw joint. Although the first thing that comes to mind when orthodontics is wire treatment, treatment with clear aligners has also been added to the orthodontic treatment options.

When should I go for an orthodontic examination?

• If there are spaces between teeth
• If there is confusion
• If there is a cross bite
• If the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth
• If there is a deep bite
• If there is an open closure
• If the implant cavity needs to be opened
• If sound is heard when opening and closing the mouth
• If there is early loss of milk teeth
• If the upper teeth are positioned anteriorly
• If the teeth that should be in the mouth have not yet erupted even though they should have come
• In the presence of congenitally missing teeth
