Orthodontics
Personalised orthodontic planning with clear aligners, fixed treatment, child and teen evaluation, and retention care.
Orthodontics evaluates dental crowding, bite problems and jaw relationships. At BY Istanbul, treatment is planned not only to align teeth, but also to consider chewing function, facial aesthetics, oral hygiene and long-term stability.
What orthodontics can help with
Crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite and tooth positions that make cleaning difficult may require orthodontic evaluation. Orthodontics has aesthetic benefits, but function is equally important.
Clear aligners or fixed treatment?
Clear aligners can be an aesthetic and removable option in suitable cases, while fixed braces may offer more controlled movement in complex situations. The method is selected according to clinical needs and patient compliance.
Early orthodontic evaluation for children
Early orthodontic evaluation during eruption of permanent teeth can provide valuable information. Not every child needs early treatment, but early monitoring can help when habits or jaw discrepancies are present.
Retention is part of treatment
Orthodontic care does not end when braces or aligners are finished. Retention helps teeth adapt to their new positions and reduces the risk of relapse.
Treatment Areas
Personalised orthodontic planning with clear aligners, fixed treatment, child and teen evaluation, and retention care.
Clear Aligner Treatment
In suitable cases, removable clear aligners move teeth gradually according to a digital plan.
Fixed Orthodontic Treatment
Brackets and wires help manage more comprehensive crowding, rotations and bite problems.
Pediatric Orthodontic Evaluation
Growth, tooth transition and jaw relationships are monitored during childhood and adolescence.
Narrow Upper Jaw / Palatal Assessment
Upper jaw narrowness, palatal form and possible crossbite are assessed together with growth stage.
Jaw Growth Monitoring
In children and teens, upper and lower jaw development, bite relationship and facial growth are monitored.
Space Maintainers
After early primary tooth loss, the need for space maintainers is assessed to preserve eruption space.
Retention Treatment
After active treatment, retainers help maintain the new tooth positions.
Crowding Treatment
For crowded teeth, orthodontic options are planned with oral hygiene, bite and aesthetic expectations in mind.
Open Bite Assessment
For anterior or posterior open bite, habits, jaw relationship and tooth positions are assessed together.
Deep Bite Assessment
In deep bite, tooth overlap, gum health and jaw relationship are assessed for treatment planning.
Orthodontic examination
Tooth alignment, bite, jaw relationship, oral hygiene and expectations are assessed.
Records and analysis
Photos, scans or impressions and radiographic findings are included in planning.
Selecting the treatment option
Clear aligners, fixed treatment or monitoring options are explained.
Active treatment and visits
Tooth movement is monitored and aligner or wire adjustments are made.
Retention phase
Retainer use and follow-up frequency are planned individually.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
No. Clear aligners can be effective in many cases, but some bite problems or complex movements may require fixed treatment.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Duration depends on case complexity, age, treatment method and compliance. Simple movement may take months, while comprehensive treatment can take longer.
When should my child have an orthodontic evaluation?
Evaluation is useful when permanent teeth begin erupting. Earlier assessment may be recommended for crossbite, jaw narrowing or habits.
What happens if I do not wear retainers?
Teeth can shift back toward previous positions. Retention is important for maintaining the result achieved during active treatment.
Is cleaning harder during orthodontic treatment?
Cleaning requires extra care, especially with fixed braces. Recommended brushes, interdental cleaning and check-ups help maintain gum health.
