Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is used to correct a bad bite. This condition is known as malocclusion, and involves teeth that are crowded or crooked. In some cases, the upper and lower jaws may not meet properly, and even though the teeth appear straight. Those individuals may have an uneven bite.

Protruding, crowded or irregularly spaced teeth and jaw problems may be inherited. Thumb sucking, losing teeth prematurely and accidents also can lead to these conditions.

By correcting the problem, it can produce a nice-looking smile, but more importantly, makes your mouth healthier. That’s because crooked and crowded teeth cause difficulty in cleaning the mouth, which can lead to tooth decay, gum disease and possibly, tooth loss. An improper bite can interfere with chewing and speaking, which may cause abnormal wear of tooth enamel and can lead to problems with the jaws.

We have several types of braces at Al Essa,which includemetallic braces, ceramic braces, and transparent braces (aligners).
