Our treatments help patients achieve confident, natural-looking smiles that enhance self-esteem and facial harmony.
Metal Braces Dubai — Why They Still Lead for Complex Movement
Brackets and wires apply gentle, continuous pressure so teeth gradually shift to the desired position. Metal braces are highly effective for correcting various dental problems and are especially suited for straightening teeth. For larger rotations, vertical changes, torque/root control, and comprehensive bite correction, orthodontists still rely on traditional braces because they allow highly controlled, 3D movement.
Benefits of dental braces
-
Excellent for crowded/crooked teeth, spacing, and upper front teeth / lower teeth relationships
-
Works for adults with demanding schedules and children still developing
-
Clear, stepwise mechanics for stable function and a naturally beautiful smile
-
Help patients achieve their desired smile and optimal results
Orthodontic Treatment — How Braces Work (Simply Explained)
Braces are orthodontic appliances made of:
-
Brackets (metal or ceramic brackets)
-
Arch wires (guided by ligature ties or a self‑ligating gate)
-
Orthodontic bands as needed
Your journey begins with a specialist orthodontic evaluation (digital scans, photos and low‑dose X rays, ALARA). We then design a diagnosis‑led treatment plan, often collaborating with dentists to ensure comprehensive care.
Orthodontic treatments are tailored to address each patient's specific needs, including the choice of appliance, review schedule, and hygiene approach to protect gums and enamel.
Ceramic Braces (Tooth‑Coloured / “Clear Braces”)
Tooth‑coloured ceramic brackets make braces less visible while keeping bracket‑level control—ideal for busy adults and image‑conscious teens. In many plans, metal braces ceramic performance is similar to metal; the main difference is visibility and tie‑staining care (we’ll show you proper care tips on how to brush with ceramic braces and clean them effectively).
For some patients, ceramic braces may be the best treatment option for their orthodontic needs.
Orthodontic Braces Treatment — Types We Provide
We offer various types of braces to suit different cases, ensuring we match the system to the case, not the other way around.
Traditional Metal Braces
Durable metal brackets + wires, predictable control for complex movement and bite correction. Great for orthodontic braces treatment in adults and children.
Treatment plans with metal braces are customized for each patient to ensure optimal results.
Self-Ligating Braces (Pitts/Damon‑type)
A small gate (no elastic ties) retains the wire to reduce friction. This can support comfortable wire progressions and arch development; however, overall treatment duration depends on biology and diagnosis—not hardware alone.
Ceramic (Tooth‑Colored) Braces
Lower profile visually, similar control plan‑for‑plan, with tie care to protect the “clear” look.
Lingual Braces (Invisible, Behind the Teeth)
Lingual braces fitted on the tongue side, so they’re virtually invisible in daily life. These braces utilize the latest technologies to provide effective and discreet orthodontic treatment. They’re powerful for people who want invisible braces but need bracket‑level control. Expect a short speech adjustment as the mouth adapts and we’ll coach hygiene to prevent plaque around the tongue‑side brackets.
Dental Braces vs Clear Aligners (Invisalign & Other Clear Plastic Aligners)
Clear aligners, including Invisalign aligners, are clear plastic aligners you remove to eat and clean. Many cases do brilliantly with Invisalign treatment; others benefit more from bracket mechanics.
-
Braces win for: large rotations, vertical changes, torque/root control, comprehensive bite mechanics.
-
Aligners win for: removable convenience, hygiene freedom, specific cosmetic priorities.
-
Balanced approach: We present treatment options (braces, clear aligners, or both) and recommend the path most likely to deliver your desired results predictably.
Treatment Options (Adults, Teens & Children)
-
Adults: Metal or ceramic braces for control and a refined look; we coordinate with your dentist if you need implant space or restorative planning.
-
Teens: School‑friendly scheduling, mouthguards for sport, and colour options for brackets if desired.
-
Children: We advise on timing and early interceptive steps (when appropriate) during the first visit.
Orthodontic treatment can significantly improve self-esteem for patients of all ages by enhancing their smile and boosting confidence.
Common goals we treat: crowded teeth, spacing, misaligned teeth, crossbite/overbite/overjet, worn edges, and pre‑implant positioning as part of adjunctive planning.
Treatment Plan (What You Can Expect)
1) Initial consultation & orthodontic evaluation
Your first visit includes digital scans, photos and low‑dose X‑rays (ALARA). We confirm diagnosis and provide a written treatment plan with appliance type, treatment duration range (typ. 12–24 months depending on case biology), visit frequency, and hygiene tips to protect oral health. Most patients adapt quickly; mild tenderness after adjustments is normal and short‑lived.
2) Diagnosis‑led plan
Written treatment plan covering appliance choice (metal, ceramic, or self-ligating braces), estimated treatment duration, review schedule, and hygiene/comfort guidance.
3) Active care with regular adjustments
Most people adapt quickly when they wear braces; mild discomfort after changes is normal and settles fast. We make timely adjustments to keep movement safe and efficient.
4) Retainers for stability
At the end, you’ll receive retainers (bonded and/or removable) to maintain your new smile and hard‑earned alignment.
Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics (How They Work Together)
Orthodontics sets the foundation for function, health and aesthetics; cosmetic dentistry (e.g., edge bonding or veneers) can then refine the final look when needed. We coordinate with your dentist so the outcome supports both oral health and appearance.
Perfect Smile, Desired Results (Beyond Straight Teeth)
A great orthodontic result blends teeth alignment, bite balance, gum health and facial harmony—so your smile looks natural and feels comfortable. We plan for desired results that last, not quick fixes.
FAQs
How much do metal braces cost in Dubai or Sharjah?
We centralize prices on our Orthodontic Treatment Cost page (monthly options available). We offer flexible payment plans to make care accessible.
Are ceramic braces worth it?
If you want lower visibility while keeping bracket control, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. We’ll compare pros/cons for your case.
Are self‑ligating braces faster than Invisalign?
Hardware alone doesn’t guarantee speed. Treatment duration depends on case biology, diagnosis and compliance. We’ll advise the most efficient route for your goals.
Do invisible braces actually work?
Yes—lingual braces (behind the teeth) and clear aligners are effective when chosen for the right indication and monitored correctly.
What happens at an adjustment appointment?
We check progress, comfort, hygiene, and change wires or ligatures as needed. These orthodontic braces reviews keep treatment safe and on schedule.
How long do I need to wear a retainer after braces?
Long‑term. Retainers protect alignment by preventing relapse. We’ll tailor the schedule (bonded and/or removable) to your case.
