Braces & aligners

Braces and aligners in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

Braces and aligners in the UAE usually cost between AED 5,000 and AED 20,000 for a full course, depending on the system and the bite. Metal braces are at the lower end, while clear aligners and hidden lingual braces cost more. For a price for your own case, describe the problem in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What drives the price

The figures above are approximate and come from clinic price pages, November 2026. Aligner prices start from about AED 8,000 for mild cases and rise to about AED 16,000 for complete treatment, according to one Dubai clinic guide. Treatment with clear aligners usually takes 6 to 18 months. Some published prices cover only one jaw, while others cover both, so check which one a quote includes.

Payment and what is included

Many clinics in the UAE offer payment plans, which makes a course of several months easier to budget. Ask for the total price in writing and check whether it includes the consultation, the X-rays, the visits during treatment and the retainers you wear afterwards. A low headline price for a single system does not always cover these extras.

Season and timing

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain share a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Braces are not seasonal, but a course of 6 to 18 months may run through one or more hot summers, so plan the appointment schedule with the clinic. Starting in November gives you the mild winter to settle into the first months.

What to write in your request

Say whether you are an adult or a child, which bite problem you have, and whether one or both jaws need treatment. Name the system you prefer, whether metal, ceramic, clear aligners or hidden braces, and the city or area where you want treatment: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain. Add your budget in AED, say if you need payment in instalments, and mention the experience you expect from the orthodontist.
