What you need to know before signing up for invisible braces
Cosmetic dentistry is a rapidly growing trend in Dubai, with increasing numbers of adults choosing to straighten their teeth. However, the commitment to long-term traditional metal braces scares many due to public perceptions. For this reason, alternative treatments have emerged. Dubai, UAE dental clinics are excited to offer alternative aesthetic orthodontic solutions, otherwise known as invisible braces for teeth straightening. One brand, known as Invisalign Braces, has become a household name. Many patients come to Precision Dental Clinic with questions about this treatment. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions about Invisalign invisible dental braces available at our office.
What are the types of Esthetic or Invisible dental braces?
There are three different types of esthetic or invisible braces. Ceramic braces mimic traditional metal braces but are made of ceramic, blending in better with your natural tooth color. Lingual braces are described as those attached to the inside surface of the teeth, making them unnoticeable. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are customizable, detachable, transparent appliances specifically designed to rearrange the alignment of the teeth in the dental arch. Talking to an orthodontist at our office is the best way to find which treatment is most suitable for you.
How much does invisible braces treatment cost?
Invisible braces are barely noticeable, and this comes with a higher price tag due to reasons such as:
- Unique materials
- Extra training needed by the orthodontist and dental team
- Utilization of special techniques, often technology-based, in the creation of the braces
- Use of computer-assisted methods to simulate treatments beforehand
- In some instances, longer appointment durations.
How visible are non-metal braces?
Although less noticeable than metal braces, invisible braces may not be completely undetectable. Keep this in mind if you have an upcoming special event. Talking with your dentist is the best way to determine if they are appropriate for your smile and if you are a proper candidate.
What do I need to do to ensure invisible braces work?
Cooperation and compliance with treatment and routine visits are critical to ensure this treatment works for you. Different types of braces require different levels of cooperation from you. Clear aligners like Invisalign must be worn for 22 hours daily to work effectively. Ceramic braces are fragile and can easily break when eating hard foods. Understanding the demands of the bracing appliance before you begin treatment is important.

How do I keep my teeth clean during treatment?
It is of utmost importance that you continue to maintain your oral hygiene during any orthodontic treatment. For instance, Invisalign makes maintaining oral hygiene easier, while fixed braces might complicate it.
Are invisible braces painful?
Moving teeth is often accompanied by initial discomfort, which varies with different appliances. For invisible braces, tightening of the wires can cause discomfort after the appointment. For Invisible clear aligners, changing trays may cause discomfort for a day or two afterward as the teeth begin to adjust.
How long does treatment take?
Tooth movement is a gradual process, and rapid movements and changes might harm the tooth roots. Compared to metal braces, most of our cosmetic braces neither hasten nor slow down the treatment. The duration tends to be the same regardless of the braces used. However, computer-guided techniques might slightly reduce the treatment time for those with mild malocclusion or misalignment.
