Purpose of Orthodontics:
‘Orthodontics’ whose main purpose it to treat tooth disorders is actually divided into two. The first one comprises determining potential tooth disorders with regular controls in childhood years, and forming and applying a treatment plan preventing disorder. In this way, problems possible to occur in advanced years with true applications are precluded.

Early control and treatment if required enable having a healthy jaw development, aligning of permanent teeth, regulating lip and tongue functions and correcting bad habits. Thus, individual lives healthy development process in terms of spiritual and physical aspects.
However, most of the time early diagnosis and treatment are skipped. That is why individual encounters some orthodontic problems when he reaches maturity. Correcting of existing disorders which is second part of orthodontic treatment in this process steps in. High level accomplished orthodontic applications can be performed in adults with full informing and high technology product treatment methods.
Negative consequences of orthodontic disorders:
The people who have not exercised their orthodontic treatment with various reasons in childhood and youth times encounter many problems in their maturity times. These problems are:
Aesthetic and psychological problems
Decay and colorations in interfaces of teeth
Gum bleeding, swelling, purple spot and extraction
Excessive fouling and cleaning difficulty in teeth which cannot be brushed comfortable due to crooking
Bad breath
Shaking in teeth or tooth losses in advanced periods
True solution: Orthodontics in Every Age:
Porcelain crowning is generally preferred for eliminating shape disorders in teeth of adult individuals. However, porcelain crowning is not always the right solution since creating a healthy, aesthetic and perfect mouth in terms of functionality is related with protection of natural teeth. The most beautiful artificial teeth cannot even substitute natural teeth.
