LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS
WHAT IS LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS?
It is an orthodontic treatment performed by using wires that pass through brackets specially prepared for your teeth on the back surface of your teeth.

CAN EVERY DOCTOR PERFORM LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS APPLICATIONS?
Lingual orthodontics can only be performed by physicians who have completed certification training. Be sure to ask whether the orthodontist who will perform the procedure has this certification.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CUSTOM BRACES?
The front surface of our teeth is flat, so it is easy to adapt to ready-made brackets, but the back surfaces of the teeth are different for each individual. Therefore, it is difficult to hold on to these areas with ready-made brackets. With brackets prepared specifically for the person, adaptation is much better, a structure is obtained that completely grasps the back surface of the tooth and where the necessary preparations can be made more ideally to put it in the right position. This is a situation that significantly shortens the treatment period.
WHAT IS THE PRODUCTION PROCESS OF CUSTOM BRACKETS AND WIRES?
Custom brackets start with the transfer of the measurement taken from the patient to the digital platform. Then, the surface topography is evaluated and a suitable substructure is prepared for the surface. In this substructure, the area for the bracket is determined at the most ideal point. The bracket and the substructure are combined in this determined area. After the bracket is prepared, special robotic wires are produced for all teeth. In this way, the wires required to bring the teeth to the most ideal position are prepared and sent to the doctors to be applied to the patients.
DOES CHOOSING LINGUAL ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT EXTEND THE TREATMENT TIME?
In orthodontic treatment, each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. It would not be correct to say that lingual treatment directly prolongs the treatment period. This situation should be compared after clinical examination.
DOES SPEECH DISORDER OCCUR IN LINGUAL TREATMENT?
In orthodontic treatment with lingual systems, since the brackets and wires are attached to the back surface of the teeth, some letters that are in contact with the back of the teeth may become difficult to pronounce for a few days. It is a situation that can be fully adapted to within 1 week with the speech exercises recommended by your orthodontist.
ARE THERE INJURIES TO THE TONGUE IN LINGUALA ORTHODONTICS?
Injury to the tongue is rarely seen in lingual treatment, but if it does occur, it is usually encountered in lower jaw treatments. Your doctor will definitely take all necessary precautions to prevent this situation from occurring. He will also make the necessary applications for the areas that occur without wasting time.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS?
If we want to be treated without being seen, this is the most ideal method. Very rarely, interventions may be required from the outside to support the success of the treatment or to shorten its duration. It allows you to see all the stages of the correction directly while your teeth are being corrected and since there is nothing in the front area. The risk of tooth decay is less.
CAN PREPARATION FOR ORTHOGNATIC SURGERY BE DONE WITH LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS?
Of course, just as it can be done with metal or ceramic brackets or transparent plates, jaw surgery preparation is also done with the lingual orthodontic method. In order to fix the jaws to each other with a splint during the surgery and the recovery period, support can be obtained from mini screws or some buttons can be attached to the outer surface of the teeth to fix the splint.
