Braces in Dubai: Types, Costs, and Finding the Right Orthodontist
Orthodontic treatment in Dubai has evolved significantly. From traditional metal braces to barely-visible clear aligners, Dubai’s DHA-licensed orthodontists deliver world-class results for children, teenagers, and adults. This guide explains all your options, what treatment costs, how long it takes, and how to find the right specialist.
Types of Braces Available in Dubai
Metal Braces
The most cost-effective option. Modern metal brackets are smaller and more comfortable than older versions. Metal braces work for almost any orthodontic case, including complex bite corrections. Cost: AED 6,000–12,000 for full treatment (12–24 months).
Ceramic Braces
Similar mechanism to metal braces but with tooth-coloured or clear brackets — far less noticeable. Slightly more expensive and the brackets can stain if you drink coffee or tea frequently. Cost: AED 8,000–15,000.
