Thinking about straightening your teeth but confused between clear aligners and metal braces? You’re not alone. Many patients in Qatar want a perfect smile but aren’t sure which orthodontic option suits them best — or how long it takes, how much it costs, and whether it’s worth it.

At American Hospital Clinics Doha, expert orthodontists help you choose the right smile correction treatment based on your teeth, lifestyle, age, and budget — not trends.

Why Should You Fix Crooked or Misaligned Teeth?

Orthodontic treatment is not just cosmetic. Straightening your teeth helps you:

  • Improve your smile confidence
  • Make chewing and speaking easier
  • Prevent tooth decay and gum disease
  • Reduce jaw pain and bite issues
  • Improve long-term oral health

    At American Hospital Clinics Doha, smile correction is planned carefully to give you healthy teeth and a confident smile that lasts.
