Crowded teeth treatment in Dubai — creating space the right way
Crowding makes teeth harder to clean, increasing decay and gum disease, and it often worsens with age as teeth drift.
Crowded teeth are straightened with aligners or braces once space is created — by expansion, gentle reshaping between teeth or, in some cases, extractions. An orthodontist decides which approach protects the gums, bite and profile.
Key facts
- Space created before alignment
- Aligners for mild–moderate crowding
- Braces for complex cases
- Long-term retainers
Creating space
Expanding a narrow arch, polishing small amounts of enamel between teeth, moving back teeth backwards with mini-implants, or extractions when crowding is severe.
Aligners or braces
Mild to moderate crowding responds well to aligners; severe crowding with rotations may be more predictable with braces.
Keeping teeth straight
Retainers are needed long-term because teeth tend to move back.
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of removable, nearly invisible aligners made from a 3D scan. You can take them out to eat and clean, and progress is planned digitally from the first visit.
