COST GUIDE · AL RIGGA, DUBAI
Braces Cost in Dubai
Braces start from AED 499 at Best Dentist in Al Rigga. The final cost is confirmed after an orthodontic assessment with our Specialist Orthodontist, Dr Deepthi Chandran Rajeesh, before treatment starts. This guide explains what changes the price, what happens at the assessment and how to pay.
What affects the cost of braces
- Type of braces. Metal braces, self-ligating braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign® are made and fitted differently, so each is priced differently. The AED 499 starting price applies to braces; self-ligating braces and Invisalign® are priced after the assessment.
- How complex the case is. Mild crowding or a small gap needs less tooth movement than severe crowding or a bite that needs correcting.
- How long treatment takes. Most braces treatment takes about 12 to 24 months. Longer treatment usually means more visits and more work.
- Number of adjustment visits. The wire is checked and changed at regular visits, usually every 4–8 weeks. The plan tells you how often you are likely to come in.
- Retainers after treatment. When the braces come off, retainers hold the teeth in their new position. Your plan explains which retainers you need.
- X-rays or extractions first. An X-ray shows the roots and jaws. Some patients need a tooth removed, a filling or a cleaning before braces go on. These are separate treatments with their own prices.
