Orthodontic Treatments at Al Afdal Medical Center

Achieving a beautifully aligned smile goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about improving your overall oral health, function, and confidence. At Al Afdal Medical Center, our Orthodontic Treatments are designed to address a variety of dental alignment issues, offering tailored solutions for patients of all ages.

Our Orthodontic Services

We provide comprehensive orthodontic care using the latest technology and techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with crooked teeth, bite issues, or jaw misalignment, our specialist orthodontists are here to help.

Traditional Metal Braces:

Metal braces are a time-tested solution for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. They consist of metal brackets and wires that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Our modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before.

Ceramic Braces:

For a less noticeable option, ceramic braces are a great alternative. These braces work like metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who prefer a more discreet look.

Self-Ligating Braces:

Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional braces but use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place. This reduces friction, making the braces more comfortable and often shortening the treatment time.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign):

Clear aligners like Invisalign are an increasingly popular option for straightening teeth discreetly. These removable, transparent trays are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and gradually shift them into place. They are ideal for those who want a nearly invisible solution and the convenience of removing them for eating and cleaning.

Lingual Braces:

Lingual braces are placed on the back (tongue side) of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. These braces offer the effectiveness of traditional braces while remaining hidden, perfect for patients who are conscious about the appearance of braces.

Orthodontic Retainers:

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers are essential for maintaining your new smile. We provide both fixed and removable retainers to help keep your teeth in their new positions, preventing any relapse.

Early Orthodontic Intervention:

For children, early orthodontic evaluation is crucial. We offer early intervention treatments to address issues like crowded teeth, crossbites, and jaw misalignment before they become more severe. Early treatment can simplify and shorten future orthodontic procedures.

Adult Orthodontics:

It’s never too late to achieve a straighter smile. Our adult orthodontic treatments cater to the unique needs of adult patients, with options like clear aligners and ceramic braces that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
