Orthodontics & Traditional Braces

Home / Services / Orthodontist Al Ain

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting malocclusion (misaligned teeth and bite discrepancies). Proper orthodontic treatment improves not only aesthetics, but also function, occlusion, periodontal health, and long-term stability.

At Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center, orthodontic care is integrated with prosthodontic and occlusal principles, ensuring results that are both cosmetically refined and biomechanically stable.

What are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to teeth and connected with archwires that apply controlled forces to gradually move teeth into ideal alignment.

They remain the most effective and versatile orthodontic system, especially for complex tooth movements.

Indications for Traditional Braces

Types of Traditional Braces

Metal Braces

Ceramic Braces

How Do Braces Work?

Braces apply continuous, controlled forces to teeth, resulting in:

  • Bone remodeling (resorption and deposition)
  • Gradual tooth movement into ideal positions

This process is carefully monitored to maintain periodontal health and occlusal harmony.

Alternatives to Traditional Braces

Clear aligners

More aesthetic and removable, but less effective in complex cases

Porcelain veneers

Cosmetic masking of minor alignment issues

Lingual braces

Placed on the inside of teeth for improved aesthetics
