Personalised Orthodontic Care in Dubai

Orthodontic treatment uses carefully planned appliances to guide teeth into improved positions and manage suitable bite concerns. Treatment may help address crowded teeth, spacing, protruding teeth, crossbites, open bites, deep bites and other alignment problems.

At MID Dental Clinic in City Walk, Dubai, orthodontic planning begins with an examination of the teeth, gums, jaws and bite. The recommended approach depends on the patient’s age, oral health, alignment, jaw development, treatment objectives and ability to follow care instructions.

Your Orthodontic Assessment

The assessment may include photographs, dental X-rays, digital scans and an evaluation of how the upper and lower teeth meet. These records help identify the alignment problem, evaluate supporting structures and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Before treatment begins, active tooth decay or gum disease may need to be managed. Good oral hygiene is important because braces and other appliances can create additional areas where plaque and food collect.

Braces or Clear Aligners?

Fixed braces use brackets and wires to apply controlled forces to the teeth. Metal braces are widely used, while ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets for a less noticeable appearance.

Clear aligners use a planned series of removable trays. They must be worn for the prescribed daily period and removed according to instructions for eating and cleaning. Aligners are not suitable for every orthodontic problem, and braces may offer better control in some cases.

Orthodontic Treatment for Children and Adults

Children may benefit from early assessment while their teeth and jaws are developing. Early evaluation does not mean treatment must begin immediately. Some children are monitored until the most appropriate stage, while selected problems may benefit from earlier intervention.

Adults can also receive orthodontic treatment when their teeth, gums and supporting bone are suitable. Existing crowns, implants, missing teeth or gum problems must be considered during planning.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Treatment duration varies according to the complexity of the alignment or bite problem, the appliance selected, biological tooth movement, appointment attendance and cooperation with instructions. Some limited cases may take months, while comprehensive treatment may take longer.

Regular adjustment or review appointments are necessary. Missed appointments, broken appliances, poor aligner wear or inadequate oral hygiene can delay progress.

Retainers After Orthodontic Treatment

Teeth can move after active orthodontic treatment. Retainers help maintain the corrected positions while the supporting tissues adapt. Retainers may be removable, fixed behind the teeth or used in combination.

Retention is a long-term part of orthodontic care. Patients should follow the prescribed wearing schedule and arrange an assessment if a retainer becomes damaged, loose or no longer fits.
