Well, during orthodontic treatment in Dubai and elsewhere, braces are used. There are multiple kinds. I am enlisting the most commonly used ones below;

  • Removable Brace – It is the simplest forms of braces available. If you don’t need much work, the treatment might be carried out with a removable brace.  It is made up of delicate wires and springs. It repositions the teeth using gentle pressure.
  • Fixed Brace – Oftentimes, your teeth require more work than a removable brace. Hence, a fixed brace is used. It comprises of certain brackets and bands which are stuck to the teeth for a little while. Only a dentist can take out the fixed brace.
  • Functional Brace – The functional brace works by using the power of your jaw muscles and can help with certain types of dental issues. It is only used when you need a lot of work on your teeth and they are extremely crooked.
  • Invisible Brace – Such braces are tough, clear plastic molds that are worn for a period of two weeks and afterward, they are replaced by the next one. They are quite discreet as compared to visible ones.

Well, having straight teeth requires a bit of patience on the client’s part. The length of treatment is dependent on the current condition of your teeth. It can take anywhere between 6 months to 2.5 years.
