Ceramic Braces in Dubai & Sharjah — Tooth‑Colored, Discreet Braces
Ceramic braces / clear braces use tooth‑colored brackets and arch wires to straighten teeth with a softer look than traditional metal braces. Planned by Specialist Orthodontist Dr. Srinivasa Rao Bogavilli (MDS), your care focuses on facial balance, gum display and long‑term oral health. We provide ceramic braces in Dubai (Deira) and Sharjah with free consultation and payment plans.
Ceramic Braces in Dubai: What They Are & How Braces Work
Ceramic brackets bond to the teeth and connect to arch wires (and, where needed, metal bands around molars). Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to move teeth into their correct positions.
-
Ceramic braces treatment offers the same control as metal but with a low‑gloss, tooth‑colored appearance that can blend seamlessly with your smile.
-
Your orthodontic treatment plan and treatment time (often 12–24 months) depend on your bite, biology and goals.
-
We use low‑dose X‑rays (ALARA), digital scans, and precise wire progressions to achieve the desired results.
Why choose ceramic braces (vs metal, clear braces or lingual braces)?
Discreet appearance: brackets are made from tooth‑colored materials for a natural smile in photos and daily life.
Control: predictable root torque and rotation control for crooked teeth, crowded teeth, spacing and bite issues (overbite, deep bite, crossbite, open bite).
Options:
-
Traditional braces (metal): most durable and visible.
-
Clear braces (ceramic): aesthetic brackets with elastic ties.
-
Self‑ligating ceramic: clear gate instead of ties; fewer elastics on the brackets.
-
Lingual braces: placed behind teeth (an invisible braces option), with a higher adaptation period.
-
Clear aligners: virtually invisible and removable; great for lifestyle—but require 20–22 hrs/day wear.
Not sure? We compare treatment options at your initial consultation so you can choose confidently.

Spacing and alignment problems needing bracket‑level control

-
Records: digital scans, photos and indicated X‑rays
-
Diagnosis, goals, choices (ceramic vs other systems), estimated treatment time and fees
-
The exact approach and duration of your treatment depends on the complexity of your case and your individual needs.
Bonding day
-
Placement of tooth‑colored brackets, first arch wire, comfort advice for wearing braces
Regular check‑ups (every 4–6 weeks)
-
Wire progressions, tie/clip checks, hygiene coaching, and adjustments (including rubber bands when needed)
-
If a wire breaks, use wax for comfort and contact the orthodontist immediately
Finishing & retainers
-
Detailing bends for your new smile, then retainers (fixed and/or removable) to protect results
-
Retainers must be worn as directed to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting.
Day‑to‑day with ceramic braces (comfort, food & hygiene)
-
Soft foods help in the first days after an adjustment.
-
Avoid very hard or chewy foods that can dislodge a bracket.
-
Coffee/tea/curry can tint clear ties; we replace them at visits.
-
Brush after meals; floss daily or use a water flosser.
-
Great oral hygiene prevents plaque build‑up, protects the gums and keeps brackets looking clear.
Ceramic systems & options (technology at a glance)
-
Conventional ceramic brackets: tooth‑colored brackets with elastic ties (clear ligatures).
-
Self‑ligating ceramic brackets: clear clip holds the archwire—cleaner look between visits; total time still biology‑dependent.
-
Hybrid set‑ups: ceramic on upper front teeth, metal on lower for durability.
-
Clear ceramic braces: aesthetic ceramic with clear ligatures for a refined look.
-
We’ll select the system that best balances control, comfort and aesthetics for your case.
