Dubai, UAE- Orthodontic treatments are not new. The first recorded precursors of modern-day metallic braces were invented in 1819 by Christophe-Francois Delabarre, a French dentist, and inventor. From there, orthodontics as a field of medicine has grown to such a stage, where patients have the freedom to choose their treatment to straighten their teeth out.

As the most popular orthodontic treatment of this decade, invisible aligners have helped countless patients achieve a healthier and more beautiful smile. Following a systematic plan starting from a comprehensive dental checkup to regularly upgrade the aligner trays, the clear aligners treatment can give desired results in around 12 to 18 months. While the duration of treatment varies from person to person, patients are often skeptical when they are asked to treat both upper and lower arches simultaneously to get that perfect smile.

“There is no easy fix to get your teeth into position,” says the expert spokesperson for Emirates Dental Clinic, one of Dubai’s leading centers for invisible aligner treatment. “Even if you only have crooked teeth in the upper teeth, you need to treat both arches to get a good, symmetrical bite at the end of the treatment.”

Gapped teeth, especially a gap between the upper central incisors are a very common issue among the masses. As a result, many patients opt for clear aligner treatment to correct this particular defect. Even though the problem may seem insignificant to a layman, dentists recommend correcting the alignment of both the upper and lower teeth to ensure that the patient’s bite falls right when he or she closes their mouth, after fixing the gapped teeth.

“It's a very simple logic,” continues the expert. Regardless of the degree of malocclusion and whether it affects both upper and lower teeth, we treat both arches simultaneously to achieve the optimal result. At the end of the day, you are paying to get straight, perfectly aligned teeth and we must ensure that you get exactly what you are looking for.
