About the treatment

What Are Metal Braces and How Do They Work?

Metal braces are traditional fixed braces made up of small stainless steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a thin archwire. Tiny elastic ties hold the wire in place, and as your orthodontist gradually adjusts the wire, steady gentle pressure guides your teeth into their correct positions.

At Mint Dental Care, these bracket and wire braces remain the gold standard for reliability, strong, precise, and able to handle even the most complex movements with predictable, long-lasting results.

  • Durable stainless steel braces fixed in place
  • Archwire and elastic ties move teeth steadily
  • Highly effective for complex alignment and bite cases
  • Trusted, proven results for teens and adults
A discreet alternative

What Are Ceramic Braces?

Ceramic braces work in exactly the same way as metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural enamel. These ceramic orthodontic braces offer the same precise control of traditional fixed braces while being far less noticeable in everyday photos and conversations.

They are a popular choice for adults and image-conscious patients who want all the strength of bracket and wire braces with a more subtle look, without switching to removable aligners.

  • Tooth-colored braces that blend with your enamel
  • Same fixed bracket and wire mechanics as metal
  • Discreet finish ideal for professionals and adults
  • Reliable correction without removable aligners

Daily care

How to Care for Your Teeth with Braces

Good hygiene keeps your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment and helps avoid staining around the brackets, especially with tooth-colored braces.

Brush After Meals

Use a soft orthodontic brush around every bracket and along the gumline to clear trapped food.

Clean Between Teeth

Interdental brushes and floss threaders reach under the archwire where plaque hides.

Watch What You Eat

Avoid hard, crunchy, and sticky foods that can loosen brackets or bend the wire.

Keep Your Check-Ups

Regular adjustments and cleanings keep your braces working and your smile on track.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

How Long Do You Need to Wear Braces?

Weeks 1–2

Your braces are fitted and bonded, and teeth begin adjusting to the gentle pressure of the archwire.

Months 3–9

Visible alignment begins, with adjustment visits roughly every 4–6 weeks to tighten the wire.

Months 9–18

Major corrections complete as crowding, gaps, and bite issues are steadily resolved.

18–24 Months

Most cases finish here, typically 18 to 24 months, followed by a retainer to hold your new smile.

I recently went in for a general check-up, cleaning, and X-ray, and I had such a great experience. I’m usually very anxious about dental visits because I’ve had some really bad experiences in Dubai, but Dr. Zeeshan completely changed that for me.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do braces hurt when they are first fitted?01

You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after fitting and each adjustment. It usually settles quickly and is easily managed with soft foods and over-the-counter pain relief.

How often will I need adjustment appointments?02

Most patients visit every 4 to 6 weeks so the orthodontist can tighten or change the archwire and keep your teeth moving steadily toward the finish line.

Do ceramic braces stain easily?03

The brackets themselves resist staining, but the clear elastic ties can discolour with coffee, tea, curry, or smoking. Good brushing and regular check-ups keep tooth-colored braces looking their best.

Will braces affect my speech or sport?04

Speech adjusts within a few days, and you can carry on with sport. We simply recommend wearing an orthodontic mouthguard for contact activities to protect your brackets and lips.

Are braces covered by dental insurance?05

Some plans include orthodontic cover. Our team will help you check your policy and explain our flexible payment options during your free initial consultation in Dubai.

What should I do if a bracket or wire breaks?06

Don't worry, call the clinic and we'll arrange a quick repair. In the meantime, orthodontic wax over a sharp edge keeps you comfortable until your appointment.
