Orthodontic Treatments for Children

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children are seen by the orthodontist at age seven. There is an ideal time to start treatment for children with an orthodontic problem. The time is not necessarily based on age, but on the stage of the child’s development.

Certain problems, like jaw underdevelopment, may require treatment at the tender age of seven, with a second stage of orthodontics after all their permanent teeth come in. Whatever age your child begins treatment, we will ensure that they receive the best treatment that they require.

Advantages of Early Treatment:

• Moves the front teeth back so they are less susceptible to injury.
• Improves the relationship of upper and lower jaws, encouraging better development in the future.
• Improves facial appearance and self-esteem.
• May avoid or reduce the need for further treatment when patients are older.

Orthodontic Treatments for Adults

With an increased awareness of the benefits of a beautiful smile, almost 50% of our Orthodontic patients are now adults. Such patients require only minor tooth movement, and others, major surgical cases with dento-facial deformities. Because adult are no longer growing, treatment is approached differently than with children.

Our Specialist Orthodontists carefully formulate adult treatments, after offering their patients different options based on their dental concerns. Many adults in Dubai do not want to have regular braces due to social concerns. In such cases, we offer INVISIBLE LINGUAL braces and INVISALIGN aligners.
