Fixed appliances

Fixed Braces

Fixed braces remain one of the most trusted and effective orthodontic appliances for correcting misaligned, crooked, or crowded teeth, as well as complex dental and facial irregularities. Lilac Medical Centre combines traditional orthodontics with modern techniques to deliver precise, predictable results using metal or ceramic braces — reliable correction for malocclusions, bite issues, and jaw alignment.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a discreet, flexible treatment option, ideal for adults and teens seeking a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. We use Invisalign to gently shift teeth into their proper alignment without wires or brackets — supporting oral hygiene while addressing mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and crooked teeth for a healthier smile.
  • Virtually invisible
  • Removable for eating
  • Easy to keep clean

For younger patients

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Early orthodontic treatment plays a crucial role in guiding jaw growth, managing the transition of baby teeth, and preventing future problems such as crowding, misaligned bites, or protruding front teeth. Timely evaluation for children who show early signs of dental issues helps them achieve a healthier bite, improved oral function, and long-term oral health.

FAQs

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents and corrects misaligned teeth and jaws. It uses appliances such as braces and clear aligners to improve the position of the teeth and the way they bite together. At Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, orthodontic treatment is planned and carried out by a specialist orthodontist.

An orthodontist treats issues such as crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, protruding front teeth, and bite problems like overbite, underbite and crossbite. Correcting these can improve both function and appearance. Dr. Tareq Alzeitani, Specialist Orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre, can assess your teeth and jaw and recommend a suitable treatment approach.
A dentist provides general oral care, while an orthodontist is a dentist who has completed further specialist training in aligning teeth and jaws. Both play important roles in your oral health. For treatment such as braces or aligners, care is usually provided by a specialist orthodontist, as it is at Lilac Medical Centre.
Lilac Medical Centre offers a range of orthodontic treatments, including fixed braces in metal and ceramic, clear aligners, Invisalign, and early orthodontic treatment for children. The most suitable option depends on your needs, age and lifestyle. A specialist orthodontist will assess your teeth and explain which treatments may be appropriate for you.
You may benefit from orthodontic treatment if you have crowded, crooked or protruding teeth, gaps, or difficulty biting and chewing. Some people also seek treatment to improve the appearance of their smile. The clearest way to know is a consultation, where a specialist orthodontist can assess your teeth and advise whether treatment is needed.
Orthodontic treatment can begin at almost any age once teeth and gums are healthy. Children are often assessed from around age 7 to spot developing issues early, while many teenagers and adults also have treatment. There is no upper age limit. A specialist orthodontist can advise on the right timing for each individual.
Yes, adults can have orthodontic treatment, and it is increasingly common. Options such as clear aligners and ceramic braces offer more discreet ways to straighten teeth. Suitability depends on the health of your teeth and gums rather than your age. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can confirm which options may suit you.
Orthodontic treatment typically takes between 6 and 24 months, though this varies with the type of treatment and the complexity of the case. Minor corrections may take less time, while more involved cases can take longer. Your specialist orthodontist will provide an estimated timeline after assessing your teeth during a consultation.
Orthodontic treatment does not usually hurt, though you may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after an appliance is fitted or adjusted. This is a normal sign the teeth are moving. Any discomfort is typically temporary and can be eased with over the counter pain relief and softer foods.
The cost of orthodontic treatment in Abu Dhabi depends on the type of treatment, the complexity of your case, and how long it takes. Because every case differs, a personalised quote is provided after a consultation at Lilac Medical Centre. Some insurance plans may contribute towards orthodontic treatment, so it is worth confirming your coverage.
Some insurance plans may cover part of the cost of orthodontic treatment, though coverage varies by provider and policy. Lilac Medical Centre works with several insurers, including Daman, Thiqa, AXA and Cigna. We recommend confirming your orthodontic coverage directly with your insurer before starting treatment.
At your first orthodontic consultation, the specialist examines your teeth and jaw, may take X-rays, photographs or impressions, and discusses your concerns and goals. They then explain the suitable treatment options, the likely timeline and a personalised quote. This visit is an opportunity to ask questions before deciding whether to go ahead.
The choice between braces and clear aligners depends on your alignment needs, lifestyle and preferences. Braces may suit more complex cases, while aligners are removable and less visible. Neither option is right for everyone. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
Yes, a retainer is usually needed after orthodontic treatment to hold the teeth in their new position. Teeth can gradually shift over time without retention, so wearing your retainer as directed helps protect your results. Your specialist orthodontist will explain which type of retainer suits you and how often to wear it.
You can book an orthodontic consultation at Lilac Medical Centre by calling 800 999 000 or visiting the clinic on the 3rd Floor, C2 Tower, Marsa Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. The clinic is open Saturday to Thursday, 09:00 to 20:00, and closed on Friday. A specialist orthodontist will assess your teeth and discuss your treatment options.
