Orthodontic Dental Treatments

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing dental and jaw irregularities. This treatment is vital for both functional and aesthetic improvements, playing a significant role in resolving various dental and jaw issues.

Dr. Aslı Kumru, with her expertise in biomimetic and biological dentistry, prioritizes preserving the natural structure of teeth during orthodontic treatments. Inspired by biomimetic principles, she offers solutions that maintain the natural function and aesthetics of teeth, ensuring healthy and long-lasting results.

Why Is Orthodontic Treatment Necessary?

• Correction of Crooked Teeth: Misaligned teeth can hinder oral hygiene, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
• Resolving Jaw Problems: Misalignment between the upper and lower jaws can lead to difficulties in chewing and speaking.
• Aesthetics and Confidence: Properly aligned teeth contribute to a more attractive smile and boost self-confidence.

Methods Used in Orthodontic Treatments

• Metal Braces: A durable and effective method traditionally used in orthodontics.
• Ceramic Braces: These braces blend with the natural color of teeth, providing a more aesthetic appearance.
• Clear Aligners: Modern solutions like Invisalign offer comfort and aesthetic advantages with their removable design.
• Functional Appliances: Devices that guide jaw growth, especially effective in children.

The Difference of Biomimetic and Biological Approaches

Dr. Aslı Kumru goes beyond simply straightening teeth in orthodontic treatments. She ensures that the natural structure of the teeth and surrounding tissues is preserved throughout the process. Her biological dentistry approach avoids unnecessary tooth trimming or harmful chemicals, ensuring the long-term health of teeth post-treatment.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process

1. Initial Examination: A detailed analysis of the oral structure is conducted to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Application of Braces or Aligners: Braces or clear aligners are tailored to the individual’s needs and applied accordingly.
3. Regular Check-ups: Progress is monitored through scheduled follow-up appointments during the treatment.
4. Retention Phase: After the treatment, retainers are used to stabilize the teeth in their new positions.

Long-Term Health and Aesthetics

Orthodontic treatment is an investment not only in aesthetics but also in oral and jaw health. With Dr. Aslı Kumru’s focus on preserving the natural tooth structure, achieving a healthy and aesthetic smile is within your reach.
