All about Orthodontics

Specialties we offer

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is our primary specialty and what sets us apart.

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Its main goal is to correct misaligned teeth and jaw positions to improve functionality, oral health, and the aesthetics of your smile. It uses orthodontic devices, such as removable plates, braces, and aligners, to move teeth and jaws into their correct positions and improve the relationship between the upper and lower teeth.
We have a team of expert orthodontists with over 10 years of experience in the field, who utilize the most advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to provide customized treatments based on a thorough and personalized diagnosis. Whether you need to correct dental misalignments, bite issues, or simply enhance the aesthetics of your smile, our goal is to design a treatment plan that perfectly fits your needs.

Types of Orthodontics

Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontics

Preventive Orthodontics focuses on avoiding future orthodontic problems through monitoring and early treatment of dental anomalies in young children. Its goal is to minimize the risk of more severe issues as the teeth and jawbones develop. On the other hand, interceptive orthodontics addresses orthodontic problems identified at an early stage, such as crowding or bite issues, to correct them before they become more complex. Both approaches aim to intervene in dental development to optimize long-term outcomes and reduce the need for more extensive treatments in the future.

Fixed Appliance Orthodontics

Fixed Appliance Orthodontics uses devices such as metal or ceramic brackets and wires to gradually and precisely move teeth into their correct positions. These appliances are attached to the teeth during the treatment, allowing for constant and controlled correction of dental irregularities. This technique is effective in addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues, from crowding to severe malocclusions, and is particularly useful for achieving stable and long-lasting results.

Combined Orthodontics with Orthognathic Surgery

Combined Orthodontics with Orthognathic Surgery is used in cases where dental and bite problems are severe and cannot be resolved with orthodontic appliances alone. This approach integrates orthodontics with surgical procedures to correct significant misalignments of the jawbones. First, orthodontic treatment is carried out to align the teeth in their ideal positions, followed by surgery to adjust the jawbones. Finally, orthodontics continues to refine the dental alignment and ensure a functional and aesthetically pleasing bite.

Pre-Prosthetic Orthodontics for Adults

Pre-Prosthetic Orthodontics for Adults focuses on preparing the mouth for the placement of dental prosthetics. In this type of treatment, dental misalignments are corrected and the alignment of the teeth is adjusted to ensure that prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, fit properly and function correctly. It is a crucial part of the oral rehabilitation process for adults, as proper alignment of the teeth can improve the effectiveness of prosthetics and contribute to better overall oral health and aesthetics.

Each type of orthodontics has its own focus and objectives, tailored to meet the specific needs of patients to achieve optimal results in dental health and aesthetics

Main Objectives of Orthodontics

Improve Dental Aesthetics:

Orthodontics helps align teeth and correct bite issues, which can significantly enhance the appearance of your smile.

Optimize Functionality:

Well-aligned teeth facilitate proper biting and improved chewing function, which can prevent problems such as irregular tooth wear and difficulties when chewing.

Promote Oral Health:

Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues related to poor oral hygiene.

Correct Functional Problems:

Orthodontics can also address temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, speech difficulties, and other functional problems related to dental alignment.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Improved Aesthetics:

A more aligned and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Optimal Function:

Enhanced ability to chew and speak correctly.

Oral Health:

Reduced risk of dental problems and gum disease.

Confidence and Self-Esteem:

An attractive smile can boost personal confidence.

Orthodontic Treatment Process

Evaluation and Diagnosis:

The orthodontist performs a clinical examination, takes X-rays, and makes dental impressions to assess the issue and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment Planning:

A detailed plan is designed, which may include the type of orthodontic appliances to be used and the duration of the treatment.

Placement of Appliances:

Braces, aligners, or other devices are placed according to the treatment plan.

Follow-Up and Adjustments:

Regular appointments are scheduled to adjust the devices and monitor progress.

Completion and Retention:

Once the desired results are achieved, the appliances are removed, and retainers are fitted to keep the teeth in their new position.
