Crooked Teeth

WHICH TREATMENT METHOD FOR CROOKED TEETH

One of the most important problems with teeth is crooked, crooked, and/or curved teeth. When teeth are not properly aligned in the jawbone, they cause both functional and aesthetic problems. This situation causes food residues to accumulate between the teeth and cause decayin a short time.

The accumulation of food residues between the teeth also creates problems in terms of gum health. Gum disease , which starts with bleeding gums at first, causes bone loss over time due to crowded teeth and advanced gum problems occur. The level of tooth crowding / crookedness varies from person to person. For teeth that are not too much crooked, it is possible to apply prosthetic treatment with methods such as laminating or bonding in dentistry. However, if there is a large-scale tooth crowding, orthodontic treatment will be appropriate by attaching braces to the teeth.

BRACES OR VENEERS FOR CROOKED TEETH?

Reasons such as the long duration of orthodontic treatmentand the need to carry braces on the teeth in the mouth during treatment cause patients to want to have veneers on the teeth without wearing braces. People with time constraints, especially excuses such as weddings or starting work, are the main reason for turning to dental veneers. Aesthetic concerns also cause some patients to stay away from getting braces.

When we look at the general profile of the patients whose crooked teeth we correct with dental veneers in our clinical practice, I can say that we mostly use aesthetic dental veneers to correct crooked teeth for patients living abroad. When patients living outside Turkey say that it is not possible to have braces in their country and that they do not want to continue their lives with crooked / crooked teeth, the only option for us is to correct crooked teeth by performing a procedure on the teeth, which we call prosthetic dental treatment. In this case, deciding on the prosthetic procedure to be performed according to the current condition of the teeth is the most crucial stage. Many factors such as axis shifts in the teeth, smile line, color and size of the teeth guide us to choose the dental treatment we need to do.

If there is no problem of tooth yellowing and there are only tooth gaps, bonding may be recommended. If the front teeth are slightly crooked and the tooth color is not satisfactory, lamina dental veneers may be a good alternative for the aesthetics of the anterior tooth area. Dental veneers are preferred especially in the presence of occlusal plane problems known as the chewing tray and dental aesthetic problems involving the premolars. To achieve aesthetic success in dental veneers, new computerized design and production stages are applied without the use of metal infrastructure. It is possible to achieve a beautiful appearance in a short time with aesthetic dental veneers using reinforced ceramics and zirconium blocks as materials.

How long can I use dental veneers?

When dental veneers are applied for patients who cannot have orthodontics, laminated and zirconium are usually applied on healthy teeth.Patients who do not neglect dental cleaning and periodic dentist checks can use the prosthetic treatments(zirconium dental veneers, laminated veneers or empress dental veneers) for a very long time without any problems. After a long time like 20 years, the problems they will experience are just like the possible problems they will experience with their own teeth. These problems include traumatic fractures or age-related gum recession.
