Traditional & Ceramic Braces

How braces treatment works at Paradise Dental

Every orthodontic case at our clinic begins with a free first consultation on the 22nd floor of Burj Al Salam Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road — a five-minute walk from World Trade Centre Metro. Instead of uncomfortable putty impressions, we map your teeth with the iTero digital scanner, and when jaw position or unerupted teeth need closer study, we add 3D CBCT imaging. Our DHA-licensed, internationally trained orthodontic team then plans each tooth movement digitally before a single bracket is bonded, so you know what to expect at every stage.

Are you a candidate?

Fixed braces suit nearly every healthy mouth, which is why orthodontists worldwide still rely on them for the most demanding cases: severely rotated teeth, deep overbites, crossbites, impacted canines, and situations where teeth must be moved bodily rather than simply tipped. Age is rarely a barrier — adult treatment is routine at our clinic, and many patients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond straighten their teeth ahead of restorative or cosmetic work. The one non-negotiable prerequisite is healthy gums: active gum disease must be stabilized before any brackets go on, and we screen for this at your first visit.

Your treatment, step by step

1. Records and planning. Digital scan, photographs, X-rays, and a written treatment plan with a fixed quote.
2. Bonding. Brackets are attached in a single appointment of roughly 60–90 minutes, and your first archwire goes in the same day.
3. Adjustments every 4–8 weeks. These short visits keep teeth moving on schedule. Our multilingual team offers early and evening slots, which busy professionals from DIFC and Trade Centre appreciate.
4. Debonding and polishing. Brackets come off, adhesive is polished away, and we take a final scan.
5. Retention. Fixed or removable retainers protect your result — skipping this step is the most common reason teeth drift back.

Living with braces in Dubai

Expect pressure and mild soreness for three to five days after bonding and after each adjustment; soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief manage it well. Keep orthodontic wax on hand for the occasional rubbing bracket. Hard and sticky foods are the main enemies — whole nuts, ice, and chewy dates can debond brackets. Dubai's heat adds one practical note: dehydration dries the mouth, and a dry mouth raises the risk of white-spot marks forming around brackets, so carry water and rinse after sugary drinks. If a wire ever comes loose, call us — we reserve time for quick repair visits.

Cost and insurance in Dubai

Your exact quote depends on case complexity and is confirmed in writing after your records appointment — no mid-treatment surprises. Many UAE health policies exclude or only partially cover orthodontics, so we verify your benefits before you commit, with direct billing available for Daman, AXA, Cigna, Bupa Global, Allianz Care, Oman Insurance, Neuron, Nextcare, and Mednet. Fees can also be spread across treatment in interest-free installments through Tabby, Tamara, or Postpay, and your care is covered by our 12-month smile guarantee.

Alternatives to consider

If discretion is your priority, ceramic brackets blend with your natural tooth color, lingual braces sit completely hidden behind the teeth, and Invisalign clear aligners handle mild to moderate crowding without any brackets at all. We will tell you honestly when a removable aligner can achieve your goal — and when fixed braces remain the more predictable tool for complex bite correction. The simplest way to find out which camp you fall into is a free consultation with our orthodontic team.
