“How I make cost‑effective plans” — clinical approach
-
Facial goals first: profile balance, lip support, smile arc and gum display.
-
Predictability: choose braces/aligners (or hybrid) based on the most reliable path to your goals.
-
Time & reviews: realistic timelines; school‑friendly scheduling for teens.
-
Retention: clear plan to protect your investment long‑term.
Precise diagnosis at your first visit
At our Deira (Al Rigga) clinic we capture the records we need for an accurate plan: clinical photos and a 3D scan, and—when clinically indicated—a low‑dose panoramic (OPG) and lateral cephalometric X‑ray at no charge. These images help us assess jaw relationships, impacted teeth, airway and facial balance so your treatment is planned around your face and bite. We follow ALARA (as‑low‑as‑reasonably‑achievable) radiation principles; if you have recent, good‑quality X‑rays we’re happy to use them.
X‑rays are taken only when appropriate; please tell us if you are or may be pregnant
Risks & limitations (transparent)
Orthodontics involves gentle tooth movement.
With braces: temporary pressure/ulcers, possible bracket breakages, and hygiene diligence to prevent white spots.
With aligners: 20–22 hrs/day wear is essential; attachments/IPR may be used; refinements are common. Some complex movements are faster with braces. We cover all options and timelines up‑front so you can decide confidently.

FAQs
Q1. How much do braces cost in Dubai?
A. Typical full cases range AED 8,000–15,000 for metal braces and AED 10,000–18,000 for ceramic, depending on complexity and months of treatment.
Q2. How much do clear aligners (Invisalign®) cost?
A. Most comprehensive aligner plans are AED 10,000–20,000, including planned refinements. Minor relapse cases may be less.
Q3. Is the first consultation free?
Yes. We examine your bite, discuss facial goals and give you a written plan with exact fees.
Q4. Do you offer payment plans?
A. Yes—0% EMI staged to treatment milestones. We discuss instalment amounts before you begin.
Q5. Are ceramic braces more expensive than metal?
A. Usually slightly higher due to bracket cost, but both deliver precise results when selected appropriately.
Q6. What if my case is complex?
A. Many complex bites can be managed without jaw surgery using correct sequencing and, where helpful, TADs. If surgery would lead to a much better facial outcome, we’ll explain this early.
Q7. What does the fee include?
A. Records, planned visits, standard emergency visits, finishing and retention guidance. We itemise any extra procedures in your written plan.
Q8. Do you provide free X‑rays at the first visit?
A. At our Deira clinic, OPG and lateral cephalometric X‑rays are complimentary when clinically indicated. Not every patient needs X‑rays at the first visit—if you already have recent, good‑quality images, we can often use those. We use low‑dose digital protocols and take images only when they add value to diagnosis and planning.
