Braces along with the wires have been used traditionally to correct twisted teeth or to correct smiles since ages. The awareness and demand of invisible braces in Dubai is increasing with each passing day.

Metal braces

The metal braces have always proven to be best when it comes to treating severe disparities between teeth or between upper or lower jaw. These have provided excellent results ever since their discovery. The pre and post treatment results with metal braces never fail to amaze the patient as well as their family.

The main concern that comes along with the metal braces is the appearance as well as the discomfort. There is initial pain and discomfort that is experienced since these are fixed and cannot be removed by you as and when required.

Braces however, are not always made up of metal. There are categories of braces which are not visible or are known as clear braces.

Metal braces

1.Clear Braces

The brackets of clear aligners are tooth colored, made up of ceramic. Although invisible but the discomfort is same as metal braces and these are also fixed and cannot be removed as per convenience. The main advantage of this treatment option is that the results are same as those with traditional metal braces, also they make you less conscious in your social meetings.

These invisible braces are the most affordable treatment option under the invisible category.
