Many people have crowded
or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will
straighten the teeth or move them into a better
position. This can not only improve their
appearance but also the way the teeth bite
together, while also making them easier to
clean.
In some patients the upper front teeth can
stick out . These ‘prominent’
teeth are more likely to be damaged, but orthodontic
treatment can move them back to be aligned.
In others, the way the upper and lower jaws
meet leads to an incorrect bite. Our Dubai
dentsit specialste in orthodontics treatment
may be able to correct both.
When the teeth don’t
meet correctly, this can put strain on the
facial muscles causing jaw and joint problems
"JMT " and in some cases headaches.
Orthodontic
treatment can help you to bite more evenly
and reduce the strain.
Nowadays the most effective
way to improve your smile is Invisalign treatment-
Average treatment time is about one year,
again depending on the complexity of the treatment.
Simple Dental
treatments (minor crowding, minor spacing)
may be as short as twenty weeks—this
is known as the "Invisalign Express"
program. Although the aligners are removable,
they must be worn at least 20 to 22 hours
per day to avoid delaying the treatment process.
If they are not worn consistently, treatment
time will be increased.
After the regular aligner
or braces treatment is complete, retainers
composed of a similar plastic material are
usually required to be worn, at least at night.
Like other orthodontic systems,
the patient has some flexibility. The final
position of the teeth is not completely determined
by the last aligner. If the patient wants
to change the end position because the actual
position is not optimal, new aligners are
ordered, which are usually included in the
originally quoted cost, called a 'Refinement.'
