Orthodontic Treatments – Dent Alesta Dental Clinic Izmir

Orthodontics focuses on aligning teeth and jaws into their ideal positions. At Dent Alesta Dental Clinic in Izmir, both clear aligners and braces are offered for patients of all ages to achieve a functional and esthetic smile.

Common Orthodontic Problems

• Crowded teeth
• Spacing between teeth
• Jaw misalignments and bite issues
• Protruding upper or lower jaw
• Tooth crowding

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable trays custom-made for each patient. They are nearly invisible, offering an esthetic solution. Since they can be removed while eating or brushing, oral hygiene is easier to maintain. Adults often prefer this method.

Braces

Braces involve brackets and wires to gradually align teeth. Metal braces are durable, while ceramic ones are more discreet. Braces remain the gold standard for children and complex cases.

Treatment Process in Izmir

1. Examination and Records:

   Digital scans and X-rays evaluate the case.

2. Treatment Planning:

   Digital simulation for aligners or detailed plan for braces.

3. Application:

   Aligners are fabricated or braces are bonded to teeth.

4. Follow-ups:

   Regular check-ups ensure treatment progresses correctly.

Advantages

• Esthetic option with clear aligners
• Braces treat even severe cases
• Better oral hygiene during treatment
• Improved chewing and speech functions

Treatment Duration

Clear aligner treatments usually take 6–18 months, while braces may last 12–24 months depending on case severity. Compliance is key to success.
