Orthodontics in Cairo
Aligning Teeth, Creating Smile Harmony
At Hegazy Dental Clinic in Cairo, Egypt, orthodontic care helps address crowded teeth, unwanted spaces, and selected bite problems. We discuss options for children, teenagers, and adults through an individual assessment and treatment plan.
With 16+ years of clinical experience, our dental team welcomes local and international patients at our Maadi, Heliopolis, and Nasr City locations. Your consultation explores your goals, oral health, suitable treatment options, and the commitment needed to maintain your results.
What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics uses braces or other appliances to gradually move teeth. Treatment may improve alignment, address spacing or crowding, and help selected upper and lower teeth meet more appropriately.
The aim is to consider appearance and function together. Your assessment determines which changes are achievable and whether any other dental care is needed first.
Braces & Clear Aligner Options
Depending on your clinical needs, options to discuss include:
- Metal braces: fixed brackets and wires used for a wide range of tooth movements.
- Ceramic braces: tooth-coloured brackets that offer a less visible fixed option.
- Lingual braces: brackets placed behind the teeth for selected cases.
- Clear aligners: removable trays that gradually move teeth when worn as prescribed.
Your dentist explains suitability, availability, limitations, and costs. No single option is best for every patient.
Your Personalised Orthodontic Plan
Planning begins with an examination of your teeth, gums, and bite, supported by dental records where needed. We discuss your priorities and the changes you would like to achieve.
Your plan explains the recommended appliance, expected treatment stages, review appointments, and retention afterwards. Any necessary fillings or gum treatment are considered before tooth movement begins.
Orthodontics for Children, Teens & Adults
For children and teenagers, assessment considers tooth development and jaw growth. An early consultation does not always mean treatment needs to start immediately.
Adults can also benefit from orthodontic care when their teeth and supporting tissues are suitable. Existing crowns, missing teeth, or gum concerns may affect the plan and require coordinated care.
Looking After Your Teeth During Treatment
Braces and aligners need careful daily cleaning and regular reviews. Your team explains how to clean around your appliance and which foods or habits to avoid.
Some temporary soreness can occur after fitting or adjustments. Contact the clinic if discomfort persists or an appliance breaks. Keeping your teeth and gums healthy remains essential throughout treatment.
Retainers & Long-Term Results
Teeth can move after active orthodontic treatment. Retainers help maintain their new positions and are an important part of your long-term plan.
Retainers may be removable, fixed, or a combination of both. Follow the prescribed wear schedule and cleaning instructions, and arrange a review if a retainer becomes loose, damaged, or no longer fits.
Ask about retention before starting treatment so you understand the ongoing commitment.

Orthodontics FAQs
Helpful information before your consultation in Cairo.
Am I too old for braces or clear aligners?
Adults can have orthodontic treatment. Suitability depends on your teeth, gum health, and treatment needs rather than age alone.
Are clear aligners suitable for every case?
No. Some tooth movements may be better managed with fixed braces or another approach. Aligners also require consistent wear according to your prescribed schedule.
How long will orthodontic treatment take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case, planned movements, attendance, and appliance wear. Your team provides an individual estimate after assessment.
Will straightening my teeth prevent cavities or gum disease?
Better alignment may make some areas easier to clean, but it does not prevent dental disease by itself. Daily oral hygiene and regular dental care remain necessary.
Do I need retainers after treatment?
Almost all patients need retainers to help keep their teeth aligned. Your team explains the appropriate type and wear schedule.
