Braces are located in the upper and lower jaws in the field of orthodontics, which are attached to correct the disorders in the jaw and create a beautiful smile. It is extremely important that the braces treatment is performed at the right time. Especially in childhood, this treatment will help to get healthy results. It is possible to apply this treatment for the individual after reaching a certain age. Effective results will be obtained with the application of braces treatment to patients in older age group, but it is not expected to produce as effective results as those in childhood. In case of a possible need for an operation in individuals in childhood, the person should be examined between the ages of 10 and 12. According to this examination, necessary operations should be started. If a defect in the jaw structure is noticed, it should not be postponed and examination and necessary procedures should be performed. Braces treatment, which starts at younger ages, takes a much shorter time and gives very good results.

It can also be a reason for preference in terms of aesthetics in adults. Brackets consist of two different types as brackets that can be placed on the front of the teeth and attached to the back. There is an adjustment period after the braces are fitted. Although pain occurs during this adaptation period, it is not permanent and relieve over time.

How Long Does Braces Treatment Take?
The duration of braces treatment is also wondered by many patients. First of all, braces treatment may vary according to the jaw structure of the individual, the health status of the teeth, age and demanded requirements. These criteria determine how long the braces should stay. The duration of braces treatment is different in each case. Despite the young age of the patient, it takes a minimum of 2 to 2 and a half year in case of skeletal disorder. In the absence of skeletal disorder, it varies between 10 and 24 months. In case of larger structural defects, the duration of treatment may be prolonged.
Tooth movements in adult patients are much heavier than in children. In addition, other treatments other than braces may be required in adults with skeletal disorders. In general, braces treatments may take an average of 1 to 2 years.
Do Braces Make Stains?
One of the details that individuals who will have braces treatment wonder is whether there will be staining on the teeth caused by braces. On average, braces treatment takes several years. When it comes to removing the brackets, there may be stains under them. However, this can only happen in people who do not regularly perform oral care and cleaning. If oral care and cleaning are performed regularly, there will be no problems with the teeth, including the brackets.
In individuals who pay attention to oral care throughout the treatment, tooth decay and sensitivity are not encountered. If adequate and careful oral care is performed, there will be no staining or decay on the teeth after braces treatment. After the treatment, staining and tooth decay are observed in individuals who do not pay much attention to oral care.
Braces in Children

As it is known, most of the children do not like to use braces. The appearance of braces makes children very uncomfortable. If pediatric patients are not satisfied with the appearance of the braces and constantly touch the braces, the treatment will be prolonged and undesirable results will be experienced.
Thin wires can be used for children who do not like the appearance of braces. These wires will provide advantages at many points, as well as eliminate the dissatisfaction of the patient. In other words, these wires, also called invisible wires, consist of ceramic and white colors. Apart from these, there are also braces attached to the back of the teeth. The production purposes of these wires are based on satisfying patients with problematic teeth and aesthetic concerns.
There are also braces with different colors to make children love braces and make them look beautiful. Braces with colored brackets and wires provide advantages from many points. These wires are produced to attract the attention of children and make them look attractive. Therefore, we can say that very successful results were obtained. For example, if the child is from Fenerbahçe, you can choose from yellow and dark blue colors. In this way, patient satisfaction is ensured. It should be noted that the most commonly used braces are those made of metal.
