The Importance of Teeth Straightening for Dental Health
Apart from improving your dental appearance, teeth straightening is vital in ensuring your overall health.
Patients with crooked teeth are prone to developing tooth decay, periodontal diseases and even tooth loss considering that crooked teeth are harder to clean. Dental issues can result if crooked teeth are left uncorrected.
There are many reported cases wherein patients with crooked teeth have experienced chronic headaches and migraines, poor oral hygiene, discomfort in the jaw and difficulty chewing.
At Mint Dental Care, we help diagnose and provide ways to straighten crooked teeth depending on our client’s needs.
Common Types of Teeth Misalignment
● Overcrowding. This is when your teeth are forcing some to come in odd angles or are too crowded in one space.
● Overbite. This happens when your upper teeth are protruded or your lower jaw is set too far back.
● Underbite. Underbite on the other hand is when your lower jaw juts out too far compared to your upper jaw.
● Crossbite. Crossbite happens when your upper teeth fit inside your lower teeth. If left untreated, crossbite can lead to serious jaw problems.
● Spacing. From the name itself, this is when teeth are spread out too apart.
Teeth Straightening Options at Mint Dental Care
Mint Dental Care provides several teeth straightening options including the most advanced system called Invisalign.
- You can opt to have traditional braces which use metal brackets and wires to align crooked teeth.
- Another option can be ceramic braces which are made of clear, tooth colored material.
- Lingual braces are much less noticeable than traditional braces as they are placed behind the teeth.
- Or you can choose Invisalign which are clear removable aligners – without brackets, bands, or wires – which makes it easier to clean teeth, brush and floss. Invisalign braces provide the added benefit of no dietary restrictions or oral hygiene restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best method for teeth straightening for adults?
The best method depends on your needs. Invisalign clear aligners are popular for being nearly invisible and removable, making them ideal for mild to moderate cases. Traditional metal braces work well for complex corrections, while ceramic braces offer a less noticeable alternative. Lingual braces are hidden behind teeth but may feel less comfortable.
How long does teeth straightening treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies based on the method and your teeth’s condition. Clear aligners typically take less time than traditional braces for mild cases, while severe misalignments require longer treatment regardless of the method. Your dentist can provide a personalized timeline after examination.
Is Invisalign better than traditional braces for crooked teeth?
Invisalign offers advantages like being virtually invisible, removable for eating, and easier cleaning. However, traditional braces are more effective for severe cases and don’t rely on patient compliance. The better option depends on your specific dental needs and lifestyle preferences.
What problems can crooked teeth cause if left untreated?
Crooked teeth can lead to gum disease and tooth decay from cleaning difficulties, jaw pain and headaches from misalignment, chewing problems, and even speech issues. They may also affect confidence and self-esteem due to appearance concerns.
How much does teeth straightening cost in Dubai?
Costs vary significantly based on the treatment method and case complexity. Invisalign tends to be more expensive than traditional braces, while options like ceramic braces fall in between. Many clinics offer payment plans to make treatment more affordable. A consultation will provide exact pricing for your situation.
