Straight teeth are not just aesthetic — they are easier to clean, less prone to wear, and essential for the long-term stability of any cosmetic restoration. At Ferrari Dental Clinic, orthodontic treatment is coordinated directly with cosmetic planning by Dr. Habib Zarifeh, ensuring that tooth positioning, veneer design, and gum architecture align into a single, coherent result.
Orthodontic Systems
No single orthodontic system suits every patient. Ferrari Dental Clinic offers the full range — so the right system is chosen for your specific case, not the one the clinic happens to carry.
Clear, removable aligners custom-fabricated from digital scans of your teeth. Virtually invisible in daily life — no metal, no brackets, no wires. Removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning. Each set of aligners moves the teeth a precise fraction of a millimetre before being replaced by the next. The total number of aligner sets and treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case and is determined at the diagnostic assessment.
A fast, removable appliance specifically designed for the alignment of anterior teeth — the front six to eight teeth. Treatment time is typically 6 to 16 weeks, significantly faster than full aligner systems for mild to moderate crowding and spacing. The Inman Aligner is particularly valuable as a pre-cosmetic preparatory step: straightening the front teeth before veneers are placed optimises their positioning and reduces the preparation needed on each tooth.
Fixed braces bonded to the inner (lingual) surface of the teeth — completely invisible when smiling, speaking, or photographed. Lingual braces deliver the precision of conventional fixed orthodontics with the discretion of a fully hidden appliance. They are suitable for complex cases where removable aligners would not achieve the required tooth movement, and where invisibility is the patient's non-negotiable priority. More technically demanding to place and adjust, they require an experienced clinician.
Traditional fixed braces and functional appliances remain the most clinically versatile orthodontic solution — capable of addressing all tooth positions, all types of malocclusion, and all levels of complexity. For growing patients or cases involving significant skeletal discrepancies alongside dental crowding, conventional appliances combined with functional jaw correction deliver outcomes that no aligner system can match. Ferrari Dental Clinic provides a full range of fixed appliance options for both children and adults.
Accurate orthodontic diagnosis is the foundation of successful treatment. Ferrari Dental Clinic uses digital records, CBCT imaging where indicated, digital dental models, and photographic analysis to map the full picture of each patient's dental and skeletal relationships. Treatment planning integrates the orthodontic goal with any concurrent cosmetic or surgical treatment — ensuring that tooth movement, veneer placement, gum contouring, and bite correction are sequenced correctly from the start.
Skeletal discrepancies — where the upper and lower jaws are positioned incorrectly relative to each other — cannot be corrected by orthodontic appliances alone. Surgical orthodontics repositions the jaw bones themselves, carried out at CMC Hospital Beirut by Dr. Habib Zarifeh as Head of Oral Surgery. Orthodontic appliances are worn before and after surgery to optimise tooth positioning within the newly corrected skeletal framework. The result is both functional and aesthetic in a way that orthodontics alone cannot achieve in these cases.
Orthodontics & Cosmetics Together
One of the most significant advantages of receiving orthodontic treatment at Ferrari Dental Clinic is the direct integration with cosmetic dentistry. When a patient wants both straighter teeth and veneers, the sequence matters — orthodontic alignment first reduces how much tooth preparation is required for each veneer, and pre-cosmetic alignment often allows a more conservative result with better long-term stability.
Dr. Habib Zarifeh plans orthodontic and cosmetic cases together from the initial consultation, sequencing each stage to maximise the final outcome. This coordination is not available at a standalone orthodontic practice or a standalone cosmetic practice — it requires both disciplines to be present in the same clinical environment, under the same specialist.
