Braces Treatment - Dt Ayşe Erken

Orthodontics for Both Aesthetic and Functional Benefits

Braces treatment is an orthodontic procedure that enhances both appearance and function. It is especially effective for individuals with crooked, spaced, or misaligned teeth and jaw problems. At Ayşe Erken Dental Clinic, we offer personalized orthodontic solutions for all age groups—from children to adults.

Why Is Braces Treatment Necessary?

Misaligned teeth are not only an aesthetic issue but also a health concern. Improper jaw alignment and crowded teeth can lead to:

Gum disease
Increased risk of cavities
Speech difficulties
Improper chewing

With personalized treatment planning, braces correct these issues and help you achieve an ideal dental structure.

What Is the Ideal Age for Braces?

We are frequently asked: At what age should you get braces? The optimal time is generally between ages 9 and 14, when permanent teeth have emerged. However, with today’s advanced orthodontic technology, people in their 30s or 40s can also undergo successful treatment. We tailor the type of braces based on age and individual dental needs.

What Are the Stages of Braces Treatment?

1. Initial Examination and Planning

We begin by evaluating your oral and jaw structure. X-rays and dental impressions are taken to determine the most appropriate treatment method.

2. Pre-Treatment Preparation

Teeth cleaning, cavity treatment, and ensuring oral hygiene are essential before starting. A healthy mouth is crucial for successful results.

3. Braces Application

Based on the selected system—metal, ceramic, lingual, or clear aligners—the brackets are bonded to the tooth surface. This procedure is painless and comfortable.

4. Monthly Adjustments

The applied pressure is periodically adjusted during check-ups. These appointments ensure the treatment progresses as planned. We monitor your progress carefully at each visit.

5. Retention Phase

After active treatment ends, retainers are used to maintain the new position of the teeth. This phase is vital to ensure long-term results.

How Long Does Braces Treatment Take?

The average duration ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on:

The severity of the misalignment
The patient’s age
Treatment compliance
The type of orthodontic system used

We provide a clear estimate at the start and guide you step-by-step through the process.

Types of Braces We Offer

Metal Braces

The most durable and cost-effective option, commonly used for children and teens.

Ceramic Braces

Less visible than metal braces and ideal for patients concerned about aesthetics.

Lingual Braces

Placed on the inner side of the teeth—completely invisible from the outside.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

Removable, transparent, and highly aesthetic. Preferred by adults seeking discreet treatment.

We recommend the most suitable method based on your lifestyle and cosmetic expectations.

Important Tips During Orthodontic Treatment

Avoid hard and sticky foods
Brush thoroughly after every meal
Use interdental brushes or floss
Don’t skip regular check-ups

We offer full guidance and hygiene instructions throughout the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Braces Hurt?

You may feel mild discomfort or pressure for a few days after brackets are placed or adjusted, but this is temporary and manageable.

Are Braces Noticeable?

If you’re concerned about aesthetics, we offer ceramic braces or clear aligners that are much less visible than traditional braces.

Will My Teeth Shift Back After Braces?

Not if proper retainers are used. We continue to monitor your teeth after treatment to ensure long-term success.
