For some people, crooked teeth are caused by the fact that the teeth do not have enough space in the mouth to fit evenly. This problem has many names and is one of the most common malpositions people visit the dentist clinic. There are various options for the Overlapping Teeth Treatment in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah. You can consult the experts at Enfield Royal Clinic to suggest the most appropriate treatment.
What are Overlapping Teeth?
It is a type of malocclusion which is basically the misalignment of teeth that can lead to oral health problems. Some people have one tooth which doesn’t have space, and others may have several teeth which are misaligned. It occurs because there is not enough space in the mouth to properly fit all teeth permanently and allow them to settle into the correct positions.
Result:
The misaligned and crowded teeth are restored to a position where they fit correctly with other teeth. The treatments aim to make space for teeth that are not aligned and allow all teeth to appear appropriately aligned.
Benefits:
Treating these teeth offers many benefits to those who are dissatisfied with the smile’s appearance.
Better Oral Health: When one or more teeth are overgrown, it can make it more difficult to brush and floss properly, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities. Eliminating misalignment and straightening your teeth makes it easier to remove plaque from your teeth and gum line to maintain a healthy smile.
Perfectly Aligned Teeth: Unaligned teeth can result in tooth decay, which can cause pain and discomfort. If the misaligned teeth are straightened, they can alleviate all other problems caused by the misalignment of teeth.
Beautiful Smile: The issues can lead to a flawed smile, and the treatment can help improve the appearance of your smile significantly.
Confidence Boost: Correcting the misaligned teeth improves the appearance of a smile, which can significantly increase self-confidence.
What Causes the Problem?
The following common reasons mainly cause the problem:
- Hereditary causes
- Thumb sucking
- Prolonged use of the bottle as a child
- Pacifier use over three years old
However, a few other culprits can also contribute to the problem, like genetic traits and childhood habits.
Treatment Options:
Choosing the most appropriate treatment for your problem is imperative to get the best results. Following are some of the options for Overlapping Teeth Treatment in Dubai that you can consider:
Braces:
The first line of defense is standard braces, which use metal staples, wires, and rubber bands to stretch the teeth.
Braces work by applying constant pressure to the teeth, usually for a long period of time, 1 to 3 years.
This pressure can gradually reshape your jaws, keeping your teeth in the correct position. Treatment of adults usually takes longer than treatment of children or adolescents.
Invisalign:
This type of treatment uses a series of clear, almost transparent plastic alignments that change from time to time, allowing the teeth to be gradually moved into their correct position.
It is designed to correct minor orthodontic problems within 6-8 months and can provide a quick solution to front teeth problems; if the problem is moderate, it may take up to 18 months to resolve it.
This invisible orthodontic appliance can correct many simple to moderate orthodontic problems, but they are not serious. The dentist’s job is to determine if a patient is suitable for treatment.
Veneers:
They are only useful in correcting cosmetic problems with a low level of impact on the teeth. The dentist must remove some of the enamel with a porcelain shell to replace it. They not only grind down their teeth, but also hide their crooked teeth, allowing you to better understand the visible part of the smile.
Quick Tip! This provides a partial solution to the aesthetic problem and does not in any way constitute an alternative to correct orthodontic treatment.
Stripping:
It is a reduction of enamel that is aimed at gaining space between the teeth in the pre-orthodontic treatment phase, only in patients with mild crowding. The dentist files some teeth in a controlled way to reduce their width between 0.2 and 0.5 millimeters. It is a painless procedure that is performed without anesthesia.
Tooth Extractions:
In the most severe cases, the orthodontist may need to perform tooth extraction. In this case, it is possible to consider extracting one or more teeth to make space and ensure perfect alignment. Tooth crowding extraction is performed by a dental surgeon and can be done under local anesthesia with or without sedation.
