Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment improves tooth alignment and the way the upper and lower teeth meet. It can address concerns such as crowding, gaps, prominent teeth, and bite irregularities. Alongside improving smile appearance, better alignment may make cleaning easier and improve the distribution of biting forces in suitable cases.

At Dr. Ahmed Elwan’s Clinic, orthodontic planning begins with an assessment of the teeth, jaws, and gum health, together with the imaging and records needed for diagnosis. The appropriate appliance and treatment stages are then selected according to the problem, the patient’s age, and individual needs. Following instructions and attending review appointments are important parts of treatment.

Teeth move gradually, and treatment duration varies between patients. Careful cleaning around orthodontic appliances helps reduce plaque accumulation, decay, and gum inflammation. After active treatment, retainers are prescribed as part of the plan to help maintain the new tooth positions and support the result over time.
