Teeth can be moved at any age. What matters most is the health of the bone and gums that support them.
Adult orthodontics
Approach
An orthodontic assessment looks at how the teeth and jaws fit together. Photographs, impressions or a scan and X-rays form the basis of the plan. Not every irregularity needs treatment. Options and the expected duration are discussed openly before starting, and the decision is made with you.
She graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2006 and completed her training in the university's Department of Orthodontics. She received her orthodontic specialty certificate in 2011.

Orthodontic Topics
Fixed Braces
Brackets are bonded to the teeth and a wire moves them with a light, steady force. Metal, ceramic and lingual options exist.
Topics:
Clear Aligners
Removable transparent trays planned from a digital scan. Consistent wear is one of the important factors in the result.
Topics:
Surgery and Retention
A joint plan with the jaw surgeon for skeletal differences. Retention keeps the teeth in place after treatment.

Braces, clear aligners and retention
AboutFrequently asked
Is there an age limit for an orthodontic examination?
No. In children an early examination can help monitor growth. In adults what matters is the health of the gums and bone.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on the problem and the method chosen. The expected duration is discussed after the records are reviewed.
Braces or clear aligners?
Both can be used for many problems. Fixed braces are more predictable for some movements. With aligners the result depends on daily wear.
Will my teeth stay in place after treatment?
Teeth tend to drift back, so every treatment ends with a planned retention phase.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any previous X-rays and information about earlier orthodontic treatment are enough.
