Many people in Nairobi experience crowded teeth, gaps, or bite issues. Modern braces and clear aligners effectively address most of these concerns, making dental braces a popular choice for many.
At Tender Care Dental, we are committed to helping you and your family achieve confident, healthy smiles. We support patients of all ages with attentive and honest orthodontic care.
Below are some of the most common orthodontic issues we treat successfully with braces and clear aligners:
With advancements in technology, dental braces are now more comfortable and efficient than ever before.
Crowded teeth
Crowded teeth occur when there is insufficient space in the jaw, causing teeth to overlap. This can make cleaning difficult and may affect chewing or speech.
Braces or clear aligners gradually reposition teeth, making brushing and flossing easier once alignment is achieved.
Our patients often report significant improvements in their smiles after using dental braces.
Gapped teeth (Spacing)
Spaces between teeth, particularly in the front, can cause self-consciousness, trap food, and affect your bite.
We use aligners or braces to close gaps, resulting in a more even and natural smile.
Overbite (Deep bite)
Choosing dental braces is a decision that many make to enhance their oral health.
An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth significantly cover the lower teeth, which can lead to faster wear of the lower teeth or jaw discomfort.
We correct overbites by repositioning your teeth, resulting in a more balanced, comfortable bite and long-term protection for your teeth.
Underbite
An underbite occurs when the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, which can make chewing and speaking more difficult and may affect the appearance of the chin and jaw. Timely treatment using braces or aligners (and sometimes growth guidance for younger kids) can improve both function and appearance, such as making chewing easier and creating a more attractive smile.
It’s essential to consider braces for effective underbite correction.
Crossbite
A crossbite occurs when some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, leading to uneven wear and potential issues with jaw growth. We align the teeth to create a smooth, even bite.
Open bite
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not meet when biting down, making it difficult to eat certain foods. This condition may result from thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. Treatment brings the teeth together, improving function and appearance.
When your child has both baby and permanent teeth
Dental braces can significantly improve your child’s dental alignment during this crucial growth phase.
If your child has both baby and adult teeth, early intervention is important. We provide gentle Phase 1 care to support jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth.
Just seeking a nicer, straighter smile?
If you are seeking a neater appearance without major bite issues, clear aligners are an ideal solution because they are discreet and removable.
Studies in Nairobi show that misaligned teeth and bites (malocclusion) affect about 70% of school-age children and teenagers. Most cases respond well to early detection and treatment.
Straightening teeth with dental braces or clear aligners enhances appearance, improves oral hygiene, reduces the risk of gum disease, and prevents wear, all of which boost confidence.
