How do metal
braces work?
Traditional braces are designed to put pressure on the teeth and move them into their proper position. Small brackets are cemented to your teeth linked by an archwire. This wire is tightened by your orthodontist periodically to facilitate the alignment of your teeth and jaw, achieving the smile you’ve always wanted.

What is the process of getting metal braces in Dubai?
On your initial consultation in our clinic, your dentist will examine the condition of your teeth and gums. Professional cleaning or other treatments will be recommended if needed.
Once your teeth are cleaned and any gum/teeth problems are addressed, X-rays and photographs will be taken by your orthodontist to evaluate your teeth structure properly. If there is tight spacing in between your teeth, spacers may be placed to prepare for braces.
Your orthodontist will be cleaning and drying your teeth before attaching the brackets, or the small metal devices that hold the archwires on your teeth.
To attach the brackets, a small amount of non-toxic adhesive is placed on each tooth and cured by blue light to set it. The brackets will then be placed on each of the teeth.
Metal bands will then be put around your back molars to anchor the braces. Make sure you inform your orthodontist if you feel discomfort while the bands are attached.
Archwires are finally attached to the brackets by wrapping a small rubber band or ligature around each bracket to fix the wire in position. The wire is snipped so it doesn’t poke your gums or the back of your mouth.
When your braces are finally in place, your next appointment with your orthodontist will be in about 4-8 weeks. The follow-up appointment will be for the checking of your progress, adjusting your braces and changing the old bands if needed.
