Common questions from patients about braces and braces adjustments at Harmony Medical Center, Jumeirah, Dubai.
Where can I get dental braces in Jumeirah?
Harmony Medical Center is in Jumeirah 3 on Al Wasl Road, close to Jumeirah Mosque, Burj Al Arab and Mall of the Emirates. Our specialist orthodontists fit braces for children, teenagers and adults. The clinic is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
What types of braces do you offer in Jumeirah?
We offer metal braces, ceramic braces, Damon self ligating braces and lingual braces, along with Myobrace for children. Your orthodontist recommends the option that suits your bite, age and lifestyle after an assessment.
How often do I need a braces adjustment?
Most patients need a braces adjustment every four to eight weeks. At each visit your orthodontist checks the brackets, changes the archwire or elastics when needed and reviews your progress. Damon braces may need fewer visits.
Does a braces adjustment hurt?
An adjustment is usually comfortable, but teeth can feel sore for two to three days afterwards as they begin to move. This is manageable with over the counter pain relief and soft foods, and usually settles within a week.
What should I do if a bracket or wire breaks between adjustments?
Contact the clinic as soon as you can. A loose or broken bracket, a wire that pokes your cheek or a loose band can slow treatment and cause discomfort. Call 04 307 6510 or message us on WhatsApp so we can arrange a visit.
Can I book a braces adjustment in Jumeirah if I started treatment elsewhere?
Please contact us to discuss your situation. Our orthodontists first review your current treatment and records, then explain the options and next steps before agreeing a plan.
How much do dental braces cost in Jumeirah?
Cost depends on the type of braces and the complexity of your bite. Metal braces are generally the most affordable, ceramic and Damon braces cost more, and lingual braces are priced higher because each bracket is custom made. Your orthodontist confirms an exact price after your assessment, and Tabby and Tamara instalment plans are available.
How long do I need to wear braces?
Most treatment plans run between six months and two years. Mild crowding or spacing can be corrected faster, while more complex bite issues take longer. Your orthodontist gives you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Are metal braces or lingual braces better?
Neither is universally better. Metal braces are visible but suit almost every bite problem and are the most affordable. Lingual braces sit behind the teeth and are hidden from the front, but cost more and can take longer to get used to. Your orthodontist recommends the better fit for your case.
What is Myobrace and who is it for?
Myobrace is a removable appliance system for children that targets habits such as mouth breathing and tongue thrusting, which can cause crowded or misaligned teeth. It supports natural jaw development and may be used before or alongside braces.
Do you accept insurance or instalments for braces in Jumeirah?
Major insurance providers including Daman, Thiqa and ADNIC are accepted for eligible plans, and coverage depends on your policy. Instalment plans through Tabby and Tamara are also available so treatment can be spread over manageable payments.
