Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that provides aesthetic and functional improvement by ensuring proper alignment of teeth and jaws. Issues such as crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and jaw misalignment can negatively affect oral health and overall quality of life over time. At UGE Dent, we offer our patients personalized treatment plans to achieve an ideal smile and properly aligned teeth.
Why is orthodontic treatment important?
- Aesthetic Appearance: Crowded or crooked teeth can create an aesthetically unpleasant appearance. These issues are corrected through orthodontic treatment.
- Functional Improvement: Jaw misalignment can cause chewing difficulties and speech problems. Orthodontics resolves these issues.
- Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth make cleaning easier and reduce the risk of tooth decay or gum diseases.
Treatment Methods
- Metal Braces: A durable and effective traditional method.
- Clear Aligners (Invisalign): Offer an invisible treatment.
- Lingual Braces: Placed on the inner surface of teeth, minimizing aesthetic concerns.
Treatment Process
Treatment usually begins with an initial examination and digital planning. After deciding on the treatment method, braces or aligners are placed. Treatment duration typically ranges from 6 to 24 months.
At UGE Dent, with our expert orthodontists and modern equipment, we help patients of all ages achieve a healthy and aesthetic smile.
