Why Choose Metal Braces in Dubai
Although a wide variety of fixed orthodontic treatment plans is available worldwide and offered by the Swedish Dental Clinic in Dubai, many people still opt for metal braces, as they are viewed as the ultimate retainers with the most reliable results.
Traditional braces are also preferred by many orthodontists worldwide because they are versatile and not limited to a certain group of problems; they can be used to fix numerous dental issues, such as severe overcrowding, large gaps between teeth, and complex bite issues.
Besides their versatility and predictable outcome, metal dental braces are a lot more durable than other types of braces, and with proper care, they can last up to years because they’re less likely to crack, break, or come off the side of the tooth.
Swedish Dental Clinic’s dentists understand that oral health is essential to overall well-being, and with that in mind, we always make sure you receive meticulous dental and oral care whenever you visit our clinic.
Benefits of Metal Braces in Dubai
Most people want to get metal teeth braces for aesthetics, but they do offer more significant health benefits than just a straighter smile. For example, metal braces combat bone erosion.
Orthodontic issues such as crowded teeth can cause uneven pressure on the jawbone, leading to bone loss in certain areas where the pressure is maximized over time. By gently and continuously adjusting the teeth’s position, metal braces distribute the pressure on the bone equally, potentially promoting bone growth and, in turn, preserving the jawbone’s health and structure integrity.
Another advantage of permanent metal braces is that they can help overcome speech problems associated with dental conditions. Misaligned teeth can obstruct airflow while talking, interfering with the way words come out of a person’s mouth. This can result in lisps or other issues with articulation. Metal braces aim to effectively reposition teeth and jaws to increase speech clarity and allow individuals to express themselves better and more confidently.
Of course, all these cases above also possess cosmetic benefits. Adjusting the position of teeth will definitely change the facial and bone structure of the patient, making it more symmetrical and, therefore, more appealing.

It’s Never Too Late to Correct Your Bite!
Metal braces are often associated with adolescence and teenage years, but that doesn’t mean they’re strictly for that age group. More adults are seeking orthodontic treatment options since they realize the significant benefits metal braces can offer them when weighed against their “inconvenience” train track look.
As a matter of fact, people nowadays are rocking their fixed metal braces with unique color combinations to add personality and show their aligners off instead of hiding them, especially since they now understand more than ever that there’s nothing wrong with working towards bettering yourself, be it by gaining a new skill, fixing misalignment of teeth, or doing something that benefits your general well-being!
How Metal Braces Work
Metal braces consist of 2 main components: the arch wire and the brackets. The wire passes through the bonded brackets and is attached to them using ligatures, which are metal or rubber bands.
The wire is made of stainless steel, and depending on the orthodontic condition, it is responsible for the movements that occur during the treatment. The basic idea is that, depending on the case, the arch wire will apply gentle pleasure, causing the bone to respond naturally by remodeling the tissue around the tooth roots.
Over time, this pressure will naturally cause the bone to dissolve from one side and rebuild on the other, changing the jaw’s structure and approaching the proper position and alignment.
Like all the good things in life, this process takes time, as teeth typically move around 1 millimeter each month. So, depending on the severity of the orthodontic problem, metal braces treatment could take anywhere from a few months to years.
The Procedure for Getting Metal Braces in Dubai
1 – Diagnosing
Before beginning your orthodontic retainer treatment, we first need to assess your condition and understand what plan would provide the best and most desirable results for you. This happens during the initial consultation.
Swedish Dental Clinic’s experienced orthodontist in Dubai will examine your mouth, inspect your teeth and dental anatomy, and determine your case and whether metal braces are the perfect fit for you. This step requires taking X-rays and images of your mouth and teeth to track progress and study the case further. We might also take a 3D shape scan using a digital dental scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth.
Following that, you will be discussing the matter thoroughly with the dentist. At Swedish Dental Clinic, we make sure we answer all your questions and address any of the concerns that you may have regarding the dental procedure.
2 – Customizing
The orthodontist will devise a personalized treatment plan for you based on your condition and end goals. A dental care provider will clean your teeth, and then we will move on to the next stage.
3- Bonding
This procedure includes bonding the metal brackets to the front of your teeth, then inserting the stainless steel arch wire in the brackets and holding them together with ligatures. This process usually takes a couple of hours to complete, and it is the actual installment of the brace mechanism.
The patient might experience slight discomfort following the installation appointment, as there will be new-found pressure on the jaw.
4 – Waiting
This is where we leave it to time while monitoring the progress. There will be regular dental check-ups every 4-6 weeks to check the improvements and make the necessary adjustments to the arch wires and elastic bands to ensure you receive the desired end results. Reaching the desired goals could take months to years, depending on the severity.
5 – Smiling!
Once the treatment is concluded and the desired look and bite are achieved, the braces will be removed, and you will get another teeth cleaning and polishing. The patient can now enjoy eating, laughing, and living comfortably and confidently. The road was long, but the results from metal braces were reliable, predictable, and long-lasting.
6 – Maintaining
Since Swedish Dental Clinic ensures you get the best possible outcome at all times, you will be provided with clear aligner trays to wear for predetermined periods to maintain the current achieved positioning of your teeth.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Braces in Dubai
Are metal braces painful?
Metal braces, like other orthodontic appliances, should be painful. You might experience discomfort, especially within the first few weeks of getting the metal aligners, but that should subside within a few weeks, and you won’t have to pause your usual activities.
In case you experience any extreme pain or discomfort, you must consult your dental care provider immediately.
Do metal braces cause any speech difficulties?
You might experience temporary speech difficulties with metal braces, especially during the initial adjustment period, when you are still getting used to having foreign metal objects in your mouth. Additionally, your saliva glands will be secreting more saliva than usual, and your gums may be slightly swollen at the beginning. However, that’s not the case for everyone, and if you have any concerns, you will be able to discuss them with your dentist prior to the treatment.
How long does it take to see results with metal braces?
Not all orthodontic issues are the same; that’s why the dental treatment duration varies from one patient to another. Some may start seeing notable improvements within a few months; others might need years for their teeth to reach their ideal position.
Generally, conventional metal braces need around 12-24 months to start showing noticeable outcomes.
Do metal braces require frequent adjustments?
Yes and no, depending on the type of orthodontic issue and its severity.
Some types of treatment plans include more frequent adjustments, while others are less frequent.
On average, the orthodontist will make the necessary adjustments once every 4-6 weeks, but they may be more frequent near the beginning of the treatment.
Can I eat normally with metal braces?
During the first few weeks after installing the braces, you will need to be extra careful about what you eat and how you eat it. You will depend more on soft foods and soups, but gradually, you will be able to introduce other types of food with proper technique.
Your dentist will provide you with all the necessary tips on what to eat, how to eat, and how to clean your braces properly after meals.
