Common orthodontic treatments include braces, clear aligners and retainers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The way your\u00a0teeth\u00a0fit together has a significant impact on your oral health. By improving the way your upper and lower teeth meet, you can reduce your risk for a host of oral health issues, including\u00a0cavities,\u00a0gum disease\u00a0and excessive wear (erosion).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who offers orthodontic treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In most cases, orthodontists perform this type of treatment. An orthodontist is a doctor who receives two to three years of additional training after graduating from dental school. They focus on improving your bite. They don\u2019t perform general dentistry treatments like\u00a0fillings,\u00a0crowns\u00a0or\u00a0bridges.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>When should I take my child to the orthodontist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic visit no later than the age of 7. While many children won\u2019t need treatment at this age, it\u2019s a good time to find out if there are any issues to watch out for. Often, children who need early orthodontic treatment can reduce their need for extensive dental procedures in the future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6726\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-2.png 547w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g2-2-300x139.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who benefits from orthodontics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Almost everyone can gain some benefit from orthodontics. But some people need treatment more than others. Many people seek orthodontic treatment because they want to improve the appearance of their smile. But in addition to cosmetic benefits, orthodontics offers improved chewing function and better oral health.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Common orthodontic problems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Types of orthodontic problems include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Overbite, when your upper teeth stick out over your lower teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Underbite, when your lower teeth stick out further than your upper teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Overlapping teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Crowded teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Crooked teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Rotated teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Impacted teeth (which are partially or fully trapped in your jawbone).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who shouldn\u2019t have orthodontic treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To qualify for orthodontic treatment, you shouldn\u2019t have any serious dental issues like extensive decay or gum disease. Placing braces on diseased teeth can have a serious negative impact on your oral health.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you have cavities or gum disease, see a\u00a0dentist\u00a0for treatment. Once you manage those conditions, ask your dentist if orthodontic treatment is right for you<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g4-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6727\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g4-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"732\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g4-2.png 732w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g4-2-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are examples of orthodontic treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are several treatments that fall under the specialty of orthodontics. Some of the most common include:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Braces\u00a0gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions over time using a combination of brackets, bands and wires. There are different types of braces depending on your needs, including traditional metal braces and\u00a0clear (ceramic) braces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Clear aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clear orthodontic aligners are a popular alternative to braces. Well-known brands include Invisalign\u00ae and ClearCorrect\u00ae. Rather than using brackets and wires to straighten your teeth, these systems use a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays. You wear each set of trays for one to two weeks before switching them out for the next set in the series. Over time, the clear aligners shift your teeth into their proper positions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Retainers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you wear braces or clear aligners, you\u2019ll need a\u00a0retainer\u00a0once your orthodontic treatment ends. A retainer is a custom oral appliance that keeps your teeth from drifting out of their proper positions. Your orthodontist can tell you how often you\u2019ll need to wear your retainer to maintain the results of treatment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Palate expanders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Orthodontists recommend some treatments during childhood. This is because a child\u2019s facial bones are still developing and they\u2019re much easier to move and manipulate. A\u00a0palate (palatal) expander\u00a0helps to widen a child\u2019s upper jaw. Most children don\u2019t need palate expanders. But under the right circumstances, these devices can create extra space without the need for\u00a0tooth extractions\u00a0or other procedures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g5-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6728\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g5-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g5-1.png 600w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g5-1-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the advantages of orthodontics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The cosmetic benefits of orthodontics are clear. But these treatments offer functional and health-related advantages as well:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>When your teeth are in proper alignment, they\u2019re much easier to clean.<\/li>\n<li>Straightening your teeth can improve chewing and speech function.<\/li>\n<li>Orthodontic treatment can ease pain related to\u00a0TMJ disorder.<\/li>\n<li>An aligned bite can reduce your risk for cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues.<\/li>\n<li>Orthodontics can help you achieve and maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the disadvantages of orthodontics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The main disadvantage is short-term: You\u2019ll have to follow treatment guidelines closely and be patient until you reach your goal. For some people, orthodontic treatment takes less than one year. For others, it can take up to two years or longer. Because every person has their own unique needs, treatment times look different for everyone. Ask your orthodontist what to expect.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you don\u2019t clean thoroughly around your orthodontic appliances, you also have a greater risk of cavities. Be sure to follow your orthodontist\u2019s\u00a0oral hygiene\u00a0recommendations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How is Orthodontics Performed in Iran?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The procedure of getting dental braces consists of three steps. They are the examination process, getting braces, and monthly check-ups.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To get your dental braces in Iran, you need to go through the first step in your home country. After visiting an orthodontist, they ask you to have dental x-ray, plaster model of your teeth, dental photographs, and a clinical exam.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Using these prerequisites, your orthodontist in Iran determines the duration of your treatment and the type of your devices. Then, the orthodontist puts your dental devices\/braces in your mouth and tighten and fix them in place.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Regular visits are needed afterward in order for your dentist to check the progression of your treatment. When your dentist approves, your treatment is over and the devices are removed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Aims of Orthodontic Treatment:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Providing cosmetic correction and improving appearance<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Providing a healthy functional bite<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Preventing diseases of the teeth<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some of the dental malocclusions that may be corrected by orthodontics include:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Crowded teeth &#8211; Crowding of teeth or poor alignment of teeth that may be too large for the mouth. This leads to a poor bite as well as an unsightly appearance. The most common teeth to crowd are the upper canine teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An open bite &#8211; This occurs when the lower end of the upper front teeth do not touch the upper end of the lower front teeth. This leads to insufficient chewing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Deep over bite &#8211; This describes when the top and bottom front teeth are not aligned and the bottom teeth tend to touch the roof of the mouth, sometimes damaging the gums and the palate. This may lead to gum damage, gum diseases, tooth loss and tooth wear.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cross bite &#8211; This occurs when the teeth ends do not meet. It leads to poor appearance, insufficient chewing and easily erodible teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Increased overjet &#8211; This describes when the upper teeth protrude and may result from thumb or finger sucking. This may also be due to uneven jaw bone growth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Reverse overjet &#8211; The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw. Aside from poor cosmetic appearance, it can lead to worn teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Spacing &#8211; Unnatural spacing between teeth may result from poorly developed, smaller or missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g6-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6729\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g6-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"975\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g6-1.png 975w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g6-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/g6-1-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Which type of braces works better?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is what your orthodontist will advise you about. However, here we provide you with some details which get you more informed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fixed devices like dental braces bring more effective results. They are used in patients who need more teeth adjustments. They also need more care as there\u2019s always something bonded to your teeth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Removable devices are used when less correction is required. They are often used to help you keep your teeth in line after your teeth are back in place using dental braces. Depending on your condition and preference, your orthodontist will determine which type of appliances is better for you.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How Much Do Dental Braces Cost in Iran?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like other treatments, the price of orthodontics is much more affordable in Iran than in other countries. For instance, getting dental braces in Iran costs from around $500 to $900 (depending on the type of device). However, the same service costs around $3,000 to $8,000 in the US, $3,500 and $6,000 in the UK, and $2,500 and $3,000 in India.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ORTHODONTICS What is orthodontics?
