What Is Orthodontics?

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the field of dentistry that moves the teeth and jaws into their ideal position. Crooked, gapped or misaligned teeth are corrected with orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontics is not only cosmetic; well-aligned teeth improve chewing and make oral hygiene easier, protecting your dental health in the long term.

What Is Clear Aligner Treatment?

Clear aligner treatment is a modern orthodontic method that gradually moves the teeth using custom-made, removable transparent trays.

It is an aesthetic and comfortable alternative for patients who do not want visible metal braces. At DOA Dental Clinic, clear aligner treatments are planned with digital scanning systems and designed with computer-aided simulations for predictable results from start to finish.

Why Choose Orthodontics or Clear Aligners?

Orthodontic treatment is used for:
Crooked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Misalignment of the upper and lower jaws
Bite problems
Aesthetic concerns

Clear aligners are especially popular with:
Adult patients
People who care about their appearance in social and professional life
Those who want a removable system

How Does Treatment Work?

At DOA Dental Clinic, the process is as follows:
Clinical examination and digital impressions
Photo and X-ray analysis
Preparing a digital treatment simulation
Choosing between fixed braces and clear aligners
Monitoring progress with regular check-ups

With clear aligners, custom-made trays are changed at set intervals, moving the teeth to their new positions in a controlled way.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies by case:
Mild cases: 6–12 months
Moderate cases: 12–18 months
Complex cases: 18–24 months or longer

With clear aligners, treatment time depends directly on wearing the aligners for at least 20–22 hours a day.

Clear Aligners or Braces: Which Is Better?

It depends entirely on the case.

Advantages of fixed braces:
Effective for more complex cases
Continuous active force

Advantages of clear aligners:
Discreet appearance
Removable
More comfortable to wear
Easier oral hygiene

At DOA Dental Clinic, the best method for each patient is decided after a detailed analysis.

Can Teeth Shift Again After Orthodontics?

After treatment, retainers are used to keep the teeth in their new position.

With regular retainer use, results can be maintained for many years.
