Overlapping Teeth Treatment in Dubai - Enfield Dental Clinic

What Causes The Overlapping Teeth?

It is a dental condition characterized by misalignment in the oral structure. This is when one or more teeth grow behind or in front of others, creating a sense of overcrowdedness. Having such an issue can disturb your chewing function, create a poor impression, alter your speech, and contribute to mouth odor resulting from improper cleaning. Additionally, it may lead to jaw pain. Several other factors may also contribute to its development. These include genetics, tooth loss (where neighboring teeth expand and fill most of the space), or certain gum diseases that can cause teeth to move from their original location.

Results:

The outcomes can vary depending on the different age groups. Children, who have more growth potential, may experience quicker results as compared to adults. However, regardless of age, factors such as oral care and regular dental check-ups can influence the effectiveness of treatment. However, Orthodontic procedures typically take months to yield noticeable results according to each candidate and their undergone adjustments. 

Ideal Candidate:

Individuals dealing with overbiting, underbiting, crossbiting, or open bites resulting from teeth overcrowding can effectively address these issues through various options available at our clinic. However, undergoing such procedures entails addressing any existing tooth-related problems like cavities and dental deterioration. Additionally, individuals with insufficient bone density may need to undergo additional sessions before proceeding with these personalized plans.

Preliminary Care:

  • You may need to avoid taking certain medications that lead to lower bone density, for which you need to talk to your dentist. 
  • Before undergoing such treatments, make sure to undergo a complete dental assessment, including x-rays and other lab tests. 
  • Prepare for potential discomfort of the initial adjustment period by having over-the-counter pain relievers, and discussing with your doctor first.

Dental Services:

The following approaches are used to help you overcome this problem: 

  • Braces: These are small brackets with attached wires that apply pressure to the enamel, gradually moving them into the desired position. This process generally takes time but provides efficient results.
  • Clear Aligners: Similar to braces in function, they also apply pressure to align the denticles properly. However, unlike them, they are nearly invisible and made of transparent plastic material. In minor situations, they take about 6 to 8 months while the moderate cases will need about 18 months to provide visible results. 
  • Retainers: These devices maintain the results achieved through orthodontic treatment by retaining the alignment and preventing them from reverting to their previous positions.
  • Dental Crowns Or Veneers: Useful for minor overlapping, they reshape the teeth by covering them and altering their appearance.
  • Tooth Extractions: In severe cases of crowding, it may be necessary to remove one or more incisors to create room for the remaining ones.
  • Surgical Correction: In complicated cases, jaw repositioning surgery addresses underlying skeletal issues contributing to the problem.
  • Palatal Expanders: Employed when there is an asymmetry between the upper and lower jaw or when the size is insufficient, they widen the maxilla, creating more space for the molars to fit in.
  • Stripping: In this approach, the orthodontist files the enamel in a controlled manner to reduce the width of the teeth by a few millimeters. It is done to create more space in case of lesser crowding. It is usually a painless procedure, and you don’t have to undergo any kind of anesthesia.

Aftercare Guidelines:

  • Brushing your teeth twice daily will ensure optimal results by eliminating toxins. 
  • Listening to your orthodontist’s advice is necessary regarding dietary choices to avoid complications. 
  • In case of severe pain or discomfort, talk to your doctor immediately and avoid self-medication.

Benefits:

  • You will achieve greater oral cleanliness as properly aligned teeth are easier to clean. 
  • There will be no hidden places for bacteria to hide and cause infections or gum diseases. 
  • The symmetrical appearance will help you achieve healthier smiles, making a positive impression on others. 
  • You will get rid of bad breath and achieve fresher breath by saying goodbye to poor hygiene practices. 
  • It will boost your confidence and self-esteem, leading to self-love and improved self-assurance. 
  • Additionally, you will have greater chewing function and clearer speech, which can enhance your professional career and help you reach new heights. 
  • Moreover, it will provide additional support by reducing the risk of tooth decay and relieving pain. 
  • Furthermore, there are no additional maintenance charges, and once achieved, the results are long-lasting. 
  • Lastly, they provide additional advantages by correcting jaw alignment and improving appearance.

The cost can vary due to several factors. These include the type of technology used. Additionally, pre-treatment requirements like x-rays and oral cleaning can add to the expense.
