What causes teeth to be misaligned, and how are they treated?
When our teeth are not compatible with the size of our jaw, teeth may become crowded or spaced apart. In childhood, baby teeth can signal an orthodontic problem. The main causes are:

Genetic factors, early loss of baby teeth, malnutrition, habits such as thumb sucking, sleep position disorders, and the eruption of wisdom teeth.

Crowded teeth and gaps can be improved with orthodontic treatment.

Is there an age limit for orthodontic treatments?
There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Starting treatment at an early age (7–10 years) shortens the duration of the treatment. The best time to treat jaw problems is before the age of 12.

How often are the treatment sessions?
At the beginning of the treatment, you should go for check-ups every 4 to 6 weeks. Regular examinations are very important for the success of the treatment.

What are the alternatives in orthodontic treatment?
In orthodontic treatments, so-called brackets or braces are used. With technological advancements, many aesthetic solutions are now offered, such as brackets fixed to the back of the teeth, clear aligners, or porcelain braces.

What problems can occur if misaligned teeth are not treated?
Properly aligned teeth make oral and dental care easier. The risk of cavities is lower. Gum problems can progress more rapidly with plaque buildup. It can lead to loose teeth and eventually tooth loss. Orthodontic treatment is necessary for an aesthetic, healthy, and happy smile.

How should dental care be done during orthodontic treatment?
During orthodontic treatment, teeth should be brushed 3 times a day. Interdental brushes should be used for braces, and mouthwash should not be neglected.

What prevents the braces from falling off during orthodontic treatment?
It is recommended to avoid hard, crunchy, sticky, sugary, and acidic foods. Crunchy foods like popcorn or chips can break the orthodontic appliance and prolong the treatment. Foods like chewing gum or caramel can easily stick to the brackets and cause cavities. After the braces are removed, healthy and strong teeth should emerge, so it's important to stay away from sugary and acidic foods.

Do teeth get damaged when braces are removed?
The adhesive used to attach the brackets to the tooth surface is easily removed. After the braces are taken off, the tooth surfaces are cleaned, and finally, a polishing process is done. The adhesive and the method used do not damage the tooth surface, so the enamel remains intact.

Is treatment without braces possible?
