The situations we frequently encounter in orthodontic treatment are crooked teeth and gapped teeth, which are called sparse teeth.
These orthodontic disorders, which can occur for various reasons, can be corrected with braces or invisible transparent plates. Braces can be metal, porcelain, reinforced glass, and transparent aligners are the preferred aesthetic aspect of orthodontic treatment in recent years.
Transparent aligners can be worn while drinking, but they can also be removed when chewing is required and when brushing teeth.
So, what is the required time for the treatment of crowded and cavity teeth?
On average 4- It could be up to 6 months.
At the end of the treatment, preventive treatment is started with hidden wires called retainers or transparent plates called essix to prevent the teeth from deteriorating. When this preventive treatment phase, in which we see the patient every 3-6 months for approximately 1.5-2 years, is completed, both the orthodontic treatment and the preventive orthodontic treatment process ends.
One of the most important factors that prevent teeth from deteriorating at the end of the treatment is wisdom teeth. . Whether impacted or not, wisdom teeth may cause tooth deterioration after orthodontic treatment.
For this reason, it is necessary to remove wisdom teeth, especially after crowding treatment or even non-extraction crowding treatment. After the treatment of polydiastema, that is, teeth with gaps, we can sometimes leave wisdom teeth. Because sometimes wisdom teeth, due to their location and eruption method, cause the teeth whose gaps have been closed with treatment to reopen. Whether wisdom teeth are removed or not, patients should come for check-ups every 3-6 months for up to 2 years.
