Many problems may occur due to the fact that orthodontic disorders are not eliminated at an early age. Orthodontic treatment is also applied in adults, especially in aesthetic and functional problems caused by abnormally positioned jaws and crowded teeth.

There are many reasons why orthodontic treatment has become widespread in recent years.

Due to the increase in living standards and the direct effect of teeth on social life, adults have also started to seek solutions to these problems. In addition, more aesthetic and comfortable treatment methods such as transparent braces without wires and brackets are available today, and the most appropriate treatment method for bone and tooth structure will be determined by the orthodontist.
