Orthodontics (Braces)
Braces have come a long way since we started in 1984. Prof. Dr. Kaboudan, Dr Nouran; PhD and Dr. Gholam, Msc, are now introducing three revolutionary orthodontic systems:
1- The Damon System which is a self-ligating brackets, requiring less treatment time and no extractions.
2- The ICE brackets which are clear braces providing better aesthetics, if you prefer not to have braces at all.
3- We can also align your teeth with NO BRACES using K line ALIGNERS , a set of successive clear trays worn over a short period of time, moving your teeth gently and silently towards the desired position, without anyone realizing them.
In more complicated cases, where there is a skeletal problem too, the corrective intervention of our Maxillofacial Surgeon may be needed.
