Fix your smile, Change your Life Forever!
Ranging from crowns and fillings to aligners and braces – Dental Appliance is any prosthesis that helps you move, support or replace your damaged teeth. Sometimes, when installed on a portion or the entire dental arch, the disharmony of the upper and lower jaws is also corrected. So hurry up! Make your teeth get along well with each other.
Read on to learn different dental appliances in Dubai, as well as possible advantages and disadvantages.
Types:
Dental appliances are normally used by dentists to correct bite problems. These devices generally fall into two categories:
- Fixed appliances – include metal braces, and retainers that accurately move the teeth in the right position. They work by altering the development of the jaws. Their overall goal is to straighten the teeth and give you a perfect bite.
- Removable appliances – Used when teeth require additional support. Most popular removable dental appliances include sports guards, headgears, retainers, night guards, and glides. While they are less expensive than permanent fixtures, they tend to produce short-term results.
Purpose:
Problems for which dental appliances can be used include but are not limited to:
- Crooked teeth
- Protrusion
- Misaligned jaws
- Widely spaced teeth
- Missing tooth
- Psychological problems associated with unattractive teeth
Results:
Results will vary depending on many things including the type of device used, the severity of malocclusion, patient age, and bone density.
Fixed appliance therapy is fairly long-lasting. In general, fuller results take approximately two to three years to show up.
Contrastingly, the removable appliance in Dubai will only take six to eight months to give the desired results.
Note: Although permanent fixtures are more expensive and slower, they are durable and help you keep the desired results for years to come.
