Orthodontics

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the proper alignment of teeth, jaw structure, and facial development. Orthodontic treatments aim to correct crooked teeth, jaw irregularities, and bite problems. These treatments not only improve aesthetic appearance but also positively affect chewing, speech, and oral hygiene.

Crowded teeth may make oral hygiene difficult and increase the risk of cavities and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment helps protect oral health by ensuring proper tooth alignment.

At Özel Algomed Hastanesi, personalized orthodontic treatment plans are provided for children and adults using braces, clear aligners, and modern orthodontic techniques.
