ORTHODONTIC EXAMINATION: Orthodontic examination can be performed starting from the age of 3, when the milk teeth are completed. If the physician deems it necessary during the examination, he may request a panoramic x-ray in which all teeth are visible and a cephalometric x-ray in which facial development is examined. It can take your photo records and jaw measurements for bite analysis.
- WHY SHOULD YOU GET ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
The first factor affecting dental health is tooth brushing. . After this, how the teeth are arranged in the mouth and their relationship to each other plays an active role. Chewing, speaking, etc., which determine the alignment of the teeth and their relationship with each other. It is possible to correct incorrect positions during activities with orthodontic treatment. The earlier you have orthodontic treatment, the healthier your teeth and jaw development will be. Waiting for all permanent teeth to erupt for treatment may not always yield the best results. Orthodontic treatment performed in adulthood ensures that teeth remain healthy for longer periods of time. It provides the necessary tooth alignment to make possible prosthesis applications easier in the future.
- START OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Dear Mothers and Fathers, Hello, with the opening of schools, we have started the rush of a new education period with our children. Our effort is to offer them the best educational opportunities so that they can live a better life in the future. However, we know that a good education alone is not enough when determining the quality of life. How we look and how we smile play an important role in choosing a job, friend and spouse. Most of the time, these features are the only determining factor.
And did you know that the foundations of an impressive facial structure and a beautiful smile are established between the ages of two and five?
This What families should do is to take their children for an orthodontic examination, even if they think there is no problem. For an orthodontic examination, it is sufficient for the child to be three years old. If no problem is detected during this examination, it is appropriate to have it examined again between the ages of five and six. During the orthodontic examination, your specialist will evaluate all of your child's teeth. He/she may ask you to have a panoramic x-ray and a cephalometric x-ray to evaluate the facial structure and development pattern. He will evaluate these x-rays to determine your child's treatment needs and determine how his face will develop if he does not receive orthodontic treatment and prepare a treatment plan specific to you.
Improving the facial structure is not as effective in treatments performed after the age of seven to twelve. Since a significant part of the child's skeletal development is completed, the golden period necessary to develop the facial structure is missed. Just like in education life. I wish everyone a successful and healthy year.
With love and respect.
