Orthodontics and jaw correction services are a specialized branch of dentistry that aims to correct misaligned teeth, improve jaw alignment, and create a more beautiful and healthy smile. In orthodontic treatment, teeth are gradually guided into their correct position using brackets, wires, and advanced orthodontic appliances. In addition to having a significant impact on the beauty of the smile, this treatment plays an important role in improving chewing function, speech, and overall oral health.
Applications of Orthodontic Services and Jaw Correction
Orthodontics is used to correct crooked, crowded or irregular teeth and can close the gaps between the teeth in a systematic manner. This treatment plays an effective role in correcting jaw abnormalities such as forward or backward movement of the upper and lower jaws, overbite, underbite and crossbite. It is also used in the treatment of impacted teeth, improving jaw coordination and preventing abnormal tooth wear. Orthodontics improves the pronunciation of some sounds and increases chewing efficiency, and prevents joint and dental problems in the long term.
Orthodontic Steps
At the beginning of the treatment, a specialized examination is performed and the condition of the teeth, jaw and facial growth is examined. Then, the necessary imaging and impressions of the teeth are taken to design a specific treatment plan. After that, the appropriate orthodontic appliance is installed on the teeth. During treatment, the patient visits regularly for adjustments and to check the progress of the treatment. Once the teeth are in the correct position, the orthodontic appliance is removed and a retainer is used to stabilize the treatment result.
Advantages and limitations of orthodontics
Orthodontics significantly improves the beauty of the smile, increases self-confidence, and improves the proper function of the teeth. This treatment prevents more serious problems in the future, such as decay, gum disease, and jaw joint problems. However, the treatment period is usually long and may take between one and three years, depending on the patient’s condition. It is essential to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment, and temporary discomfort or pressure may occur after each adjustment session.
Cost of orthodontic services
The cost of orthodontics depends on the type of treatment, duration of treatment, complexity of the deformities, and the patient’s age. The approximate cost of fixed orthodontics starts at about twenty million Tomans. Removable orthodontics, which are usually used at younger ages, start at around ten million Tomans. Invisible orthodontics, which have a more beautiful appearance and are less visible, usually range from around thirty million Tomans and up. The cost of orthodontics for children also starts at around fifteen million Tomans, depending on the type of treatment. The final cost will be determined after a specialized examination.

Answers to your frequently asked questions
Porcelain veneers are thin ceramic shells made in a laboratory. They are more durable (10–15 years), offer a more natural appearance, and are more stain-resistant, but they require tooth reduction and are more expensive.
Composite bonding is applied directly to the tooth, requires minimal or no tooth reduction, is more affordable, and repairable; however, it has a shorter lifespan (5–7 years) and may discolor over time.
The choice depends on budget, the condition of the teeth, and expectations for longevity. Veneers are better for long-lasting and highly natural aesthetics.
If minimal tooth reduction and lower cost are priorities, composite bonding is a better option. Consultation with a dentist is essential.
The cost of porcelain veneers is generally higher than composite bonding and varies depending on the brand, number of teeth, and clinic.
An exact price requires examination, but composite is more economical, while veneers are considered a long-term investment.

Veneers usually require minimal tooth reduction (0.5–1 mm), while composite bonding is often done with no or very minimal reduction.
The choice depends on the tooth condition to achieve the most natural result.
