Dental Braces Cost in the UAE
Braces cost in the UAE depends on the appliance, bite complexity, visits, retainers, and preparation, with the page explaining what affects the estimate.
The short answer
The cost of braces in Abu Dhabi is determined by the appliance type, the complexity of tooth movement, treatment duration, visits, retainers, and any preparatory dental work. Appliance type and case complexity are major cost determinants.
Which orthodontic appliances may be used for treatment?
Orthodontic treatment may use metal or ceramic brackets with archwires, or removable clear aligners with a series of customised trays. Fees can change when crowding, bite correction, impacted teeth, gum disease, cavities, extractions, refinements, or replacement retainers are involved.
How can you obtain a complete written braces plan?
Have an orthodontist examine your teeth and bite and provide a written plan. Confirm whether records, adjustments, emergency repairs, retainers, refinements, extractions, and treatment of cavities or gum disease are separate items.
When should dental problems be assessed before braces?
Seek an assessment before starting if you have pain, swelling, loose teeth, untreated decay, or bleeding gums. Orthodontic forces should be planned around the health of the supporting bone and gums.
What should you ask about your appliance and total fee?
Which appliance fits my bite, what records and procedures are needed, and what is included in the complete treatment and retention plan?
Frequently asked questions
