Quick Answer
Orthodontic treatment in Dubai typically ranges from AED 5,000 to AED 30,000, depending on the appliance type and case complexity. Metal braces sit at the lower end; lingual braces and premium clear aligners are at the higher end. Most clinics, including AQR Orthodontics, offer payment plans to spread the cost.
What Determines the Price of Orthodontic Treatment?
- Case complexity—mild crowding may need only a few months; complex bite corrections take longer and cost more
- Appliance type—metal, ceramic, lingual, or clear aligners each have different price points
- Provider experience—a skilled specialist can reduce errors, revisions, and overall treatment time
- Additional technology used—e.g., digital scanning or temporary anchorage devices (TADs)
Typical Price Ranges by Appliance Type in Dubai
- Metal braces: AED 5,000–12,000 — budget-friendly and effective
- Ceramic braces: AED 7,000–15,000—less visible option
- Lingual braces: AED 15,000–30,000—hidden behind the teeth
- Clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign): AED 10,000–25,000, virtually invisible and removable
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Delaying treatment can be more expensive over time. Untreated malocclusion can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, TMJ-related jaw pain, and tooth wear requiring restorative work.
