What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. At Boston Dental Center Abu Dhabi, our experienced orthodontists help patients of all ages achieve better oral health and a beautiful, confident smile.

Orthodontic treatments not only improve the appearance of your smile but also enhance the functionality of your bite and help maintain long-term dental health by correcting misalignments and other irregularities involving the teeth, jaws, and facial structure.

Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic care may be necessary if you're experiencing any of the following conditions:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Misaligned dental arches
Bite issues such as:
Overbite (protruding upper jaw)
Underbite (protruding lower jaw)
Open bite or crossbite
Gaps between teeth
Eruption or displacement problems in children
Tooth positioning issues related to missing or small teeth
Preparatory treatment for dental implants, crowns, or bridges
Orthodontics is not only cosmetic—it also plays a crucial role in preventing tooth decay, gum disease, jaw pain, and even speech difficulties.

Dr. Khaled Alamassi is truly an exceptional dentist who stands out not only for his extensive expertise in dentistry but also for his remarkable ability to cater to patients who are particularly sensitive to pain, like myself. From the moment I stepped into Boston clinic, I was met with a warm and reassuring environment that immediately helped ease my apprehensions about dental work.

What makes Dr. Khaled amazing is his genuine understanding and empathy towards patients who harbor fear towards dental procedures. He is incredibly patient, taking the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring that I was comfortable and informed throughout my treatment. His approach is gentle, and he employs techniques that significantly minimize discomfort, something that I, being extremely afraid of pain, greatly appreciated.

Dr. Khaled's professionalism, coupled with his skillful touch, has made my visits to the clinic something I no longer dread. It's rare to find a healthcare professional who not only excels in their field but also understands the importance of creating a positive and pain-free experience for their patients. Dr. Khaled has been a great dentist to me, effectively treating my dental issues while simultaneously helping me overcome my fear of dental procedures. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dentist.

Thank you Dr. khaled!!

I highly recommend Boston Dental Center! My wife had been struggling with dental pain for several months and had seen three specialists with no results before we found this clinic. Dr. Bobana expertly handled her complex case, delivering exceptional results with clear explanations and genuine care. Thanks to her expertise, my wife is now pain-free. I've also visited Dr. Bobana and am equally happy with the treatment. Truly the go-to clinic in Abu Dhabi!

My experience with tooth extraction under Dr. Anas's care was remarkably smooth, to the point where I found myself comfortably dozing off during the procedure—a feat, considering my usual anxiety surrounding extractions. Dr. Anas's serene demeanor, combined with his exceptional expertise, assured me beyond doubt that I was in the hands of a true professional. His approach not only alleviates anxiety but also exemplifies a mastery of dental care.
