Braces in Dubai

    Braces are orthodontic appliances used to gradually move teeth toward a planned position. They may be considered for crowded teeth, gaps, some bite problems or teeth that aren't positioned as desired — suitability depends on an individual dental assessment.

    What Are Braces?

    Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to apply controlled forces to teeth so their position can gradually change.

    Depending on the type, braces may include:

    • Brackets attached to the teeth
    • Wires that guide tooth movement
    • Bands or other supporting components

    Who May Consider Braces?

    People may be assessed for braces for reasons such as:

    • Crowded teeth
    • Gaps between teeth
    • Certain bite irregularities
    • Misaligned teeth
    • Difficulty keeping teeth clean because of their position

    An examination is needed to determine whether braces are appropriate.

    Types

    Types of Braces

    These are common types of braces. Suitability and availability should be confirmed with the clinic after assessment.

    • Traditional Metal Braces

      Metal brackets and wires are used to gradually move teeth.

    • Ceramic Braces

      Ceramic brackets are designed to be less visually prominent than traditional metal brackets.

    • Other Orthodontic Options

      There are other orthodontic approaches, such as clear aligners. Learn more about Invisalign in Dubai and self-ligating braces in Dubai. Contact us to discuss which options may be suitable for you.

    Braces for Adults

    Adults can also be assessed for orthodontic treatment. Age alone doesn't determine suitability. Considerations include:

    • Existing dental work
    • Gum and tooth health
    • Your bite
    • Tooth position
    • Your treatment goals

    Braces for Teenagers

    Teenagers may be assessed for braces depending on their dental development and individual needs. There's no single right age to start for everyone.

    Parents and guardians can contact the clinic by WhatsApp or phone to discuss an assessment.

    The process

    How Braces Treatment Works

    1. 1

      Dental assessment

      The dentist evaluates your teeth, bite and overall oral health.

    2. 2

      Treatment planning

      The appropriate orthodontic approach is discussed based on the assessment.

    3. 3

      Braces placement

      The chosen appliance is placed according to your treatment plan.

    4. 4

      Monitoring

      Progress is monitored and the appliance may be adjusted as required.

    5. 5

      Retention

      After active tooth movement, retainers may be recommended to help maintain tooth position.

    The number of visits depends on your treatment plan. Learn more about teeth retainers in Dubai.

    How Long Do Braces Take?

    There's no universal timeline. Treatment duration varies depending on:

    • How much tooth movement is needed
    • Your bite
    • The complexity of the case
    • The type of appliance
    • Your individual treatment plan
    • How treatment instructions are followed

    Your dentist can give a more specific estimate after assessment.

    Do Braces Hurt?

    You may feel temporary pressure, tightness or discomfort, particularly around adjustments or changes to the appliance. This varies from person to person.

    If discomfort is significant or doesn't settle, discuss it with your dental professional.

    Cost

    • The complexity of tooth movement
    • Your treatment plan

    • Clean between your teeth
    • Follow your dental professional's hygiene instructions
    • Attend recommended monitoring visits
    • Have dental problems checked promptly

    What to Avoid With Braces

    You may be advised to avoid foods or habits that can damage your braces, such as:

    • Very hard foods
    • Biting directly into hard objects

    • Chewing non-food objects

    If an appliance becomes loose or damaged, contact the clinic.
