Braces & Aligners
Patients often get a consultation from DentistConsultationHub when looking to have straighter teeth. In dentistry, this is called orthodontic treatment. It involved the movement of the teeth and possible expansion of the jaws, so teeth align properly.
Straightening teeth are not always about having a beautiful smile. It can also help patients to have healthier gums, chew more appropriately, and even breathe better. Even though braces are often imagined for younger children or teenagers, more and more adults consider the benefits of having braces. There are many reasons straighter teeth are appealing:
1- Properly align crooked or overcrowded teeth
2- Provide better spacing between teeth
3- Eliminate overjet (reduce the horizontal spacing between upper and lower teeth)
4- Increase the vertical pace between the lower front teeth and upper from teeth ( Deep Bite )
5- A more balanced chewing
6- Improve the appearance of the teeth, including the lip profile.
Braces
Braces are often metal, but ceramic or plastic are becoming more and more popular because they are in tooth-color, which offers improved esthetics. They are typically comfortable to wear after a few days. Patients may require to use dental wax on top of them to make them comfortable. Braces consist of brackets and wires that pass through them, and they are generally held in with small rubber bands known as ligatures.
Braces are often placed on the outside a tooth surface. However, in some situations, a dentist or an orthodontist can set them from the inside. This type of braces is called ” Lingual Braces ” and is for those patients who are concerned about the esthetics.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a newer category of dental devices used in orthodontic treatment to move teeth and achieve an ideal smile for patients. These thin layer plastic shells snap in place over the teeth and sit right above the gum line. In contrast with braces, patients wear the aligners only at night or up to 22 hours a day. They can be taken out during meal times and teeth brushed and flossed. The first clear aligner that was introduced is called “Invisalign” from Align Technology company. Since 2017 other clear aligners have been developed. One of the main competitors of Invisalign is “SmileDirectClub”. It is a clear aligner, and unlike most aligners, patients do not have to visit a dentist, and all the treatment is done virtually. At Dentist Consultation Hub we have an experienced team of dentists with aligners and can help you decide on which treatment is best suited in your situation.
