Protruding front teeth (overjet) correction in Dubai
Prominent front teeth affect lip closure, smile confidence and are more likely to be chipped in falls and sport.
Protruding upper front teeth — a large overjet, often called 'buck teeth' — can be corrected with braces or aligners, growth appliances in young patients, and sometimes mini-implants or extractions to create space. Early treatment also reduces the risk of trauma to prominent front teeth in children.
Key facts
- Teeth vs jaw diagnosed first
- Growth appliances for children
- Braces or aligners for adults
- Protects teeth from trauma
Teeth or jaw?
Protrusion may come from tilted teeth or a lower jaw positioned back; records identify which.
Growing patients
Functional appliances can encourage lower-jaw growth before braces.
Adults
Braces or aligners retract the front teeth, using space from crowding correction, mini-implant anchorage or, in some cases, extractions.
It is never too late to straighten teeth. Adult orthodontics often works alongside implants, veneers or gum treatment, and discreet appliances fit professional life.
