Our Jumeirah dental clinic offers a full range of orthodontic options for children, teenagers and adults, so treatment can be matched to the complexity of the case and the patient's lifestyle.
Metal Braces
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by an archwire that gradually guides teeth into position. They remain the most common and cost-effective orthodontic option and can treat almost any bite issue, from mild crowding to more complex misalignment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces, moving teeth using brackets and an archwire, but the brackets are made from a tooth-coloured material that blends in with natural enamel. They suit patients who want a fixed, full-time appliance that is less visible than traditional metal.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces use a self-ligating bracket system that holds the archwire in place without elastic ties, allowing teeth to move with lighter, continuous force. This design often means fewer friction-related adjustments and can reduce the number of in-chair visits compared with conventional braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a system of clear, custom-made aligners that are changed every one to two weeks to gradually shift teeth into position. The aligners are removable for eating, brushing and flossing, which makes Invisalign a popular choice for teens and adults who want a near-invisible way to straighten their teeth.
Invisalign First
Invisalign First is a version of the Invisalign system built specifically for younger children who still have a mix of baby and permanent teeth. It targets early bite and spacing problems while the jaw is still developing, guiding growth so more extensive treatment is often not needed later.
Myobrace
Myobrace is a removable appliance system for children that targets the underlying habits, such as mouth breathing or tongue thrusting, that often cause crowded or misaligned teeth. Rather than mechanically forcing teeth into place, it trains oral muscles and airway function to support natural jaw development.
Retainers
Retainers are custom-made devices worn after active orthodontic treatment to hold teeth in their new position while the surrounding bone and gum tissue stabilise. They can be removable or fixed, and are typically needed at least part time on an ongoing basis to stop teeth drifting back.
Space Maintainers
Space maintainers are used in children who lose a baby tooth early, before the permanent tooth underneath is ready to come through. The appliance holds the gap open so neighbouring teeth do not shift into the space, preserving room for the adult tooth to erupt correctly.
Habit Breakers
Habit breakers are appliances designed to stop habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting that push teeth out of alignment or create an open bite. They are usually recommended for younger children, before the habit causes lasting changes to tooth position or jaw shape.
Orthodontic Expanders
Orthodontic expanders are fixed appliances that gradually widen a narrow upper jaw, creating more room for permanent teeth and improving how the upper and lower arches fit together. They work best in growing children and are often used before or alongside braces.
