Removable braces are usually best suited to the correction of simple orthodontic problems. They can be removed for cleaning, eating and drinking. They are most popular with younger children and can be personalised with different colours.
Fixed metal braces are still the mainstay of orthodontics. They are usually best suited to resolve complex orthodontic problems and offer more precise and accurate control over the final tooth position.
Ceramic braces are very popular with many adults and teenagers. They offer a more aesthetic solution to correcting complex orthodontic problems compared to traditional braces. Ceramic braces are tooth-coloured whilst also maintaining the benefits of a fixed appliance and providing good accuracy and control over the final tooth position.
Lingual braces are fixed to the back of your teeth and completely hidden on the inside of your mouth. They are an aesthetic alternative to traditional fixed braces. Lingual braces are made to measure, and precision engineered and manufactured in Germany.
Invisalign is a popular brand of orthodontic aligners. Aligners are removable braces made from clear plastic that are worn over your teeth, similar to a thin gumshield. They are removed for cleaning, eating and drinking. Aligners can offer an aesthetic solution for the correction of simple orthodontic problems
Similar to Invisalign there are also other types of unbranded clear aligners. These are also made from a thin clear plastic but designed in-house and manufactured in a local laboratory.
Retainers are necessary after brace treatment has been completed. They are designed to keep your teeth in their corrected position and prevent them from moving again. There are two types of retainers: fixed and removable.
Interceptive orthodontics is the treatment of younger children when their bite and teeth are still developing. The aim is to recognise and treat orthodontic problems early so that any future brace treatment later in life may be much simpler or avoided altogether. Interceptive orthodontics may include arch expansion or the use of simple removable braces.
For very complex cases Dr Sana works together with other dental specialists and maxillofacial surgeons to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
