Treatment methods can be separeted into two categories:

Removable Orthodontic Treatment is the treatment method where various removable orthodontic appliances are used to prevent problems caused by bad habits like thumb sucking, abnormal swallowing, etc. Also these appliances are used to maintain and regain space of permanent teeth. Removable functional appliances intercept functional malocclusions. This treatment is carried out for 8-11 years old children which are in mixed dentition.

Fixed Orthodontic Treatment is applied by using bonded brackets on the teeth which cannot be removed during the treatment and wires going through these brackets.
