A Premium, Personalized Approach with Dr. Kundakcioglu

Do You Have a Narrow Upper Jaw?

• A narrow upper jaw can lead to crowded teeth, crossbite, breathing difficulties, an unaesthetic smile, and even conditions such as sleep apnea.
• In adults, this condition does not resolve on its own. However, with advanced techniques and expert care, it can be treated successfully and comfortably.

Our Advanced Clinical Approach

1. Comfortable SARME Under Sedation

At our clinic, we provide advanced SARME procedures performed under comfortable sedation, eliminating the need for general anesthesia in many cases.

This means:

– You remain fully relaxed and feel nothing during the procedure

– A safer, more controlled, and more comfortable experience compared to general anesthesia

2. Tooth-Free, Bone-Based Expansion

Unlike traditional techniques, we use state-of-the-art bone-borne expansion systems.

– No pressure is applied to your teeth

– All forces are directed to the jaw bone

– Maximum biological efficiency with minimal side effects

This ensures a safer, more predictable, and healthier expansion process.

3. Fully Customized Digital Planning

Your journey begins with advanced diagnostics:

– 3D CBCT imaging

– High-precision digital intraoral scans

– Comprehensive analysis of your jaw structure

Using this data, we design and manufacture a fully customized expansion device tailored specifically to your anatomy.

Treatment Options

1. Mini Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (MARPE)

Ideal for mild to moderate cases, using mini screw-supported systems for skeletal expansion without surgery.

2. Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE)

Recommended for more advanced cases, offering the most powerful and stable results.

Treatment Timeline

Wisdom teeth which are the teeth located in the backmost of the jaws, are 4 in total and often remain impacted because there is not enough space in the jaws.

A form of treatment that allows the patient to provide a prosthesis by taking support from the jawbone in the presence of missing teeth or teeth.

It is a grafting operation performed to implant in cases where there is not enough height of bone in the molar teeth area of the upper jaw. It is a procedure that lasts approximately 30 minutes.

It is a procedure in which the patients relax and the pain threshold is increased with the drugs given to the patient under the supervision of a general anesthesiologist.

It is a method that we apply to patients who are afraid of having surgical operations, having a tooth out or who are generally afraid of dentists. In this procedure, the patient does not lose consciousness, he/she can hear what is said and act according to them. After the operation, the patient does not remember the operations performed. During the day of sedation, it is recommended that the patient does not perform procedures that require attention (such as driving) or exchange money.

Thanks to the 3-D design and production techniques that have developed in recent years, implants that are compatible only with the teeth produced can be made for people. Thanks to these implants, it is possible to make fixed teeth in patients with advanced osteoporosis or deficiency that standard implants cannot be made. The duration of the operation is up to 40 minutes under local anesthesia and the teeth are inserted at the same time as the operation. This type of implant saves patients from long-term large bone grafting operations and significantly reduces the length of the treatment period.

It is the general name given to surgical procedures performed to correct this condition in cases where the lower and upper jaw are skeletally incompatible. It can be done because of many situations. Orthodontics and surgical treatment are often applied together. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The patient remains in the hospital for 1 night after the operation. Their contribution to patients is extremely high aesthetically and functionally,

In cases where the gum appearance is excessive or the gum shape is not correct during the smile, the gums can be surgically reshaped to provide a better smile. Gum aesthetics can be applied together or separately with prosthesis treatment.

One of the issues that families have the most difficulty following about their children is the topic of oral and dental health. Because the structure of the teeth and mouth is constantly changing in childhood and there are many factors that can disrupt the healthy progression of this change. These situations which should be observed with caution are as follows.

1. Inability to breathe comfortably through the nose / mouth breathing
2. Thumbsucking
3. Immature swallow / baby swallow (putting the tongue between the teeth when swallowing)
4. Genetic susceptibility
5. Nail biting, pen nibble, etc.
6. Early extraction of baby teeth
7. Untreated baby tooth cavities
8. Being the submaxilla is in front compared to the maxilla
9. Being the maxilla is narrow compared to the submaxilla

Being the maxilla is narrow compared to the submaxilla

Orthodontic problems arise if one or more of the above mentioned factors are together. Sometimes families do not realize the situation until the consequences of these problems become stronger. Orthodontic treatment does not just mean treatment with braces.

Many of the problems in jaw structure can be corrected at an early stage by using different apparatus (face mask, chin protector, functional apparatus, moving apparatus or extension apparatus, etc.) before applying fixed braces treatment. The appropriate age to start orthodontic treatment in children is between 7-12 years depending on the type of problem.

Orthodontic treatment is not a type of treatment performed only with braces. In orthodontics, there are many different treatment options that allow you to correct the structure of the teeth and jaw according to the patient’s oral structure, needs and expectations.
