General Questions to the Orthodontist

1. Do braces cause pain?

Yes, braces may cause pain for the first few days after application. It is normal to experience mild pain and sensitivity in the first 10 days, especially starting from the 3rd day. However, this is a temporary condition. These pains usually do not recur as the treatment progresses.

2. Are braces placed on milk teeth?

Contrary to popular belief, braces can also be placed on deciduous teeth when necessary. This situation is usually rare and is planned according to special orthodontic needs. In other words, the common belief that "braces cannot be placed on milk teeth" is not true. It can be applied when deemed necessary.

3. Why are teeth crooked?

One of the most common causes of tooth crowding is the narrowing of the jaw structure. In the new generation, jaw structures are getting smaller and smaller; this causes the teeth not to find enough space for themselves and cause them to bend. Genetic factors and environmental factors can also trigger this situation.

4. Do braces affect your love life?

Increasing aesthetic self-confidence also positively affects the social relations of the person. Braces treatment allows the person to express himself more comfortably by increasing smile aesthetics. This may indirectly have a positive effect on love life.
So yes, braces can even contribute to your love life!
