Orthodontic Treatments
What is orthodontic treatment?
The main objectives of orthodontics is tooth alignment and straightening.
You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted, or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatment Abu Dhabi include traditional braces, clear aligners, and removable retainers.
- Gradually moving the teeth from their place, and getting a smile in which the teeth are aligned regularly
- Improving the way the upper and lower jaws' teeth fit together and the occlusion of the jaws
- Expanding the jaws or returning the prominent front teeth to the back
Orthodontics consists of:
- Usually hollow on the inside and with an opening hook, tiny metal devices known as braces are attached straight to the tooth.
- A metal wire is inserted into the middle of the metal pieces attached to the tooth, to connect all the braces attached to the teeth of the jaw, and this wire is tightened to progressively bring the teeth closer together.
Sometimes the orthodontist may use other tools and techniques with orthodontic treatment, such as jaw expanders and implants that improve the appearance of the jawbones and extend the occlusion and smile line.
Types of orthodontics
Here is a list of braces that you can pick from based on the circumstances and in consultation with your dentist if you decide to use braces or are planning to install them.
Traditional metal orthodontics
This type of braces is the most common type, and the braces here are made of all-metal. Of all the types of braces, metal braces are the least expensive, and often the fastest and most effective
lingual orthodontics
Lingual or internal braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that some people may prefer because they are fully concealed beneath the teeth. In this instance, the braces are attached to the inner side of the tooth and are not visible, as well as the wire is passed through these cradles from the back of the teeth.
Ceramic orthodontics
This type of orthodontic treatment Abu Dhabi is characterized by that the orthodontic cradles that are attached to the tooth are made of a light-colored ceramic material, or even take the color of the teeth. They are not easily noticed on the teeth, but this comes with a cost, as ceramic braces are expensive and must be cleaned carefully so as not to change their color. It is worth noting here that ceramic braces help to move teeth faster than transparent braces.
Clear orthodontics
This type consists of a fully transparent cast that is altered every two weeks and is specifically made for the patient's teeth. About 18 to 30 separate molds are needed throughout the entire orthodontic procedure, and they must be updated every few weeks due to changes in the occlusion and tooth spacing, although This type of orthodontic is almost transparent and not noticed by others, it may be expensive and not suitable for all cases, and it may take a very long time to achieve the desired results.
