Traditional & Ceramic Braces in Dubai
About This Treatment

Your Complete Guide
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. We take impressions or a digital scan of your teeth, and when jaw position or unerupted teeth need closer study, further imaging is arranged. Your DHA-licensed dentist then plans the tooth movements 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 — many adults 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
- Records and planning. Impressions or a digital scan, photographs, X-rays, and a written treatment plan with a fixed quote.
- Bonding. Brackets are attached in a single appointment of roughly 60–90 minutes, and your first archwire goes in the same day.
- Adjustments every 4–8 weeks. These short visits keep teeth moving on schedule. Evening slots are available, which busy professionals from DIFC and Trade Centre appreciate.
- Debonding and polishing. Brackets come off, adhesive is polished away, and we take a final scan.
- 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
| Option | Typical fee (AED) |

| Ceramic braces | 8,000–15,000 |
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 check your benefits with your insurer before you commit.
Alternatives to consider
If discretion is your priority, ceramic brackets blend with your natural tooth color, 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 one of our dentists.
