Orthodontics and Dental Implants: Why Order and Timing Matter

Orthodontics and Dental Implants: Why Order and Timing Matter

9 December Tue, 2025


Many adult patients in Bursa need both orthodontic treatment and dental implants. The big question is:

“Should I straighten my teeth first with Invisalign or braces, or place the implants first?”

At Milim Dental, Dr Begum Ulasan works closely with the oral & maxillofacial surgery team to coordinate complex cases involving dental crowding, clear aligners and implants.

Why Orthodontics Often Comes First

Implants are fixed in the bone – they do not move like natural teeth. That means if you plan to:

Close spaces

Correct crowding

Change the bite

it is usually better to finish braces or Invisalign first, and then place implants in their final, ideal positions.

When Implants Must Come First

There are situations where an implant might be placed earlier, for example:

To replace a front tooth that is missing and important for appearance

To support a temporary prosthesis in edentulous areas

When certain movements are planned around a stable anchor

In these cases, Dr Begum Ulasan and the surgical team at Milim Dental Bursa design the orthodontic and implant plan together from the beginning.

Invisalign, Braces and Space Management

Orthodontics can also:

Open space for future implants (for example, where a tooth was lost in childhood)

Close unwanted spaces so fewer implants are needed

By combining clear aligners or braces with a proper restorative plan, you can often:

Reduce the number of implants required

Improve the overall symmetry of your smile

Get a more stable and aesthetic result

Why a Multi-Disciplinary Clinic Helps

Because Milim Dental in Bursa has both orthodontics (with Dr Begum Ulasan) and surgical/prosthetic departments under one roof, treatment planning is seamless.

You don’t have to coordinate information between different clinics; the team discusses your case together and presents you with a clear, phased plan.

What Is a Dental Abscess and What Causes It?

A dental abscess is one of the most common oral and gum infections encountered in daily life. It can develop due to poor oral hygiene and, if left untreated, may lead to serious health problems. A dental abscess is an infection that occurs as a result of inflammation in the gums, tooth root, or surrounding tissues. If not treated in time, it may become chronic and develop into a cyst. By maintaining proper gum health and oral hygiene, gum abscesses and related tooth pain can be prevented.

What Is Gum Recession?

Healthy gums fit tightly around the tooth and protect it from external factors. However, in some cases, the gum tissue may recede, exposing the tooth’s root surface. Gum recession does not occur in everyone and may not be noticed immediately.
