Straightening the teeth for a beautiful denture
Crowded or crooked teeth represent in most cases unwanted dental problems, as people often feel embarrassed in front of others, due to an unattractive smile. Fortunately, an orthodontist in Dubai can help patients regain the needed smile and confidence through a simple, yet appreciated dental treatment: teeth straightening with dental braces in Dubai.

You should check our dental clinics and Dubai and ask for information on this matter.
Applying the dental device
Metal or ceramic braces can be offered to patients in Dubai if they want to get rid of misaligned teeth. From the beginning, we remind patients that applying dental braces is not a painful procedure. The first thing to do is to correctly clean and dry the teeth, in order to apply the bonding glue for the device. Then, the braces are placed on the teeth, or the wires that will help the teeth straighten. It is true, some patients might feel uncomfortable with the dental device because it will take some time to get used to them. In most cases, after one month, you won’t even notice that you wear dental braces.
Moreover, one can receive an innovative dental device for teeth straightening and that is the Invisalign aligner which is made of plastic. Our Dubai dentists can also make some important recommendations regarding how people with braces should eat, how they should clean their teeth when wearing dental brackets, and the importance of periodical dental visits.
If you are planning a visit to Dubai, we also invite you to our dental office to benefit from non-invasive treatments, with the help of the latest equipment and technology.

A single visit to the dentist is enough for the patient to get a new Hollywood smile.
Invisalign in Dubai
Another method through which the teeth can be straightened is the Invisalign device, modern braces that satisfy most of the patients, considering the excellent results. These are custom-made aligners that are made of plastic or related fabrics. Such a device is often chosen as an alternative to metal braces and that because it’s invisible and easy to wear. The “mechanism” of this treatment is quite easy and a patient will have to respect the recommendations in this matter regarding the use and the proper care. The treatment is made in a graduated manner, meaning that the Invisalign device will be periodically changed.
The good news about wearing Invisalign braces is that they can be easily pulled off when eating. Even if it is an advantage compared to traditional brackets, it is also a must because you wouldn’t want to break them or charge them with the aliments you eat. It is important to pay attention to the cleaning methods of this device, and among them, a proper rinse as soon as they are removed. A dentist in Dubai will recommend you wear them at least 22 hours per day, so it is normal to have this device while sleeping, without thinking that it might deteriorate during the night.
