Our Orthodontic Treatments
Metal Braces
most reliable option for complex alignment cases.
Metal braces have been used for decades because they work consistently, across all age groups, for straightforward corrections and genuinely difficult ones. Durable, precise, and capable of handling cases that other methods struggle with. If the goal is results above everything else, metal braces remain the benchmark.
Ceramic Braces
The effectiveness of braces, with brackets that blend in.
Ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured, which makes them significantly less visible than metal. The treatment process is the same — the result is the same — but throughout the process, most people around you will not notice. A solid middle ground between traditional braces and full invisible braces.
Damon Braces
Damon braces feature self-ligating technology, which means that there is no need for elastic ties to be used. What this means for you is that there is less friction on your teeth, fewer adjustments are needed, and in some cases, treatment may be shorter for you. If you are looking for fixed braces but hate visiting the dentist so frequently, then these braces are for you.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
clear aligners are the option most adults ask about first. No brackets, no wires, no dietary restrictions. You remove them to eat and clean your teeth, then put them back in. Each set moves your teeth gradually, and the progression is planned out from the start so you know exactly where the treatment is going.
Retainers
The part of orthodontics most people underestimate.
Moving teeth into position is only half the work. Retainers hold them there. Without proper retention, teeth drift — sometimes quickly. Custom-fitted retainers at Medlite are made to keep your corrected smile exactly where it should be, long after active treatment ends.
Orthodontic Expanders
Creating space before crowding becomes a bigger problem.
Expanders widen the upper jaw gradually — most effective during childhood and early adolescence when the jaw is still developing. Used correctly and early enough, they create room for permanent teeth to come through properly, often reducing how much treatment is needed later.
How to Choose the Right Treatment
Patients regularly come in asking specifically for invisible braces or a particular type of braces they have seen advertised. Sometimes that is exactly the right choice. Sometimes it is not.
The honest answer is that the right orthodontics option depends on the complexity of your case, how committed you are to wearing a removable appliance, how visible you can tolerate the treatment being, and how quickly you want it done.
Our orthodontics team goes through this with every patient at consultation — not to steer toward the most expensive option, but to recommend what will actually work for your specific teeth and situation. That conversation is free. Book one and see where it goes.

Medlite is a full Dental & Medical Center, which means orthodontics here sits alongside general dentistry, a pediatric dentist team, implant and oral surgery, general medicine, a pharmacy, and a laboratory — all in one building.
This matters for orthodontics patients more than they might expect. Treatment often touches other dental concerns: a tooth that needs work before braces go on, a child whose jaw development needs monitoring alongside their expander, an adult whose gum health needs checking before invisible braces begin. Having all of that available in the same clinic, without referrals across the city, makes the process considerably smoother.
As a provider of Medical & Dental Services in Dubai based in International City Dubai, Medlite brings that full clinical setup to a community that previously had to go elsewhere for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no single right age. Children can start with expanders as early as seven or eight. Fixed braces typically begin around eleven to fourteen. Adults can start orthodontics at any age — including invisible braces for patients in their forties and beyond. What matters is the condition of the teeth and gums, not the number.
It varies. Simple cases with invisible braces can move in twelve to eighteen months. More complex cases using fixed braces may take two years or longer. Your orthodontist will give you a realistic estimate at consultation based on what your teeth actually need.
For mild to moderate cases, yes — invisible braces deliver comparable results. For complex bite corrections or severe crowding, fixed braces are often more reliable. This is exactly the conversation your consultation will cover.
There is typically some discomfort in the first few days after fitting and after each adjustment — not pain, but pressure. It settles. Damon braces tend to cause less soreness than traditional metal due to the reduced friction.
Usually yes, but the sequence matters. If there are cavities, gum problems, or extractions needed, those are typically sorted first. Having a GP and full dental team in the same building at Medlite makes that coordination straightforward.
Yes. No charge, no obligation. You come in, the team assesses your teeth, and you leave knowing your options. What you do with that information is entirely up to you.
