Straighter teeth and a bite that works, planned by DHA-registered specialist orthodontists. The diagnosis comes first; the appliance — fixed braces or clear aligners — is chosen to suit it.
Your first visit is an assessment with a specialist orthodontist: examination, records and an explanation of your options.
An orthodontist moves teeth and guides the bite into a planned position. At Creative Arts in Dubai, two specialist orthodontists treat crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, protruding teeth and bite problems such as deep bite, underbite, crossbite and open bite, in adults and teenagers, using fixed braces or Invisalign clear aligners, followed by long-term retention.
Each page explains how the treatment works, who it suits and what affects the cost.
Brackets bonded to the teeth — the most versatile appliance for complex movements, for teens and adults.
Removable, near-invisible trays for a wide range of cases when worn as prescribed.
Keeping the result, replacing retainers, and options when teeth have moved back.
Jaw pain, clicking or locking assessed separately from orthodontic goals.
Teeth move at any age. What changes with age is the context the plan has to account for.
Bone remodels throughout life, so adults are not too late. Plans account for existing crowns, fillings, gum support and missing teeth, and often prepare for later work — aligning a tooth so a crown needs less cutting, or opening a space before an implant.
Most comprehensive treatment starts once the adult teeth are through, often in the early teens. Fixed braces and, for suitable cases, aligners are both options; the specialist explains the trade-offs for your child.
An orthodontic check around age seven shows whether a problem such as a crossbite or severe crowding is worth intercepting early. Usually it is not, but where it is, timing matters. See children’s dentistry.
Relapse after earlier braces is common, usually because retention stopped. A reassessment looks at what has moved and whether a limited course or a new retainer is enough.
Some problems are about appearance, some about function, many about both. Each page lists every legitimate option, not only orthodontics.
Overlapping, rotated or crowded teeth, and why crowding often increases with age.
Closing spaces with orthodontics, bonding or a combination.
Upper front teeth that stick out (increased overjet), in children and adults.
Upper teeth covering too much of the lower teeth.
Lower teeth in front of the upper teeth; sometimes a jaw-size difference.
Teeth that bite on the wrong side, or front teeth that do not meet when you bite together.
Both can treat a wide range of cases. The right choice depends on the movements your teeth need and how you live.
| Fixed braces | Invisalign clear aligners | |
|---|---|---|
| How they work | Brackets and wires bonded to the teeth | A series of removable trays, changed in sequence |
| Best at | Complex movements: rotations, root movement, closing extraction spaces | Many alignment and spacing cases, when worn as prescribed |
| Daily commitment | Nothing to remember; careful cleaning around brackets | About 20–22 hours a day; removed to eat and clean |
| Visibility | Visible brackets | Near-invisible |
| Food | Avoid hard and sticky foods | No restrictions while trays are out |
| After treatment | Retainers | Retainers |

Diagnosis comes before choosing an appliance; choosing the appliance first is the wrong order.
A specialist orthodontist examines your teeth, bite and jaw, and listens to what you want to change.
Visit 1Photographs, a 3D intraoral scan and X-rays — panoramic, and often cephalometric — to see whether the problem is the teeth, the jaws or both.
Visit 1–2Options explained, including what each can and cannot achieve, how long it takes and whether extractions or auxiliaries are needed.
Written planBraces fitted or aligners started, with review appointments to adjust and monitor progress and gum health.
Usually 12–24 monthsA bonded and/or removable retainer holds the result; retention is long-term, not a short phase.
Long termOrthodontic treatment changes how the teeth meet. It does not reliably cure jaw joint problems, and it should not be presented as a jaw-pain treatment. Where someone has both a bite concern and jaw symptoms, the two goals are defined separately, so progress on each can be judged honestly — see TMJ assessment.
When the problem is mainly the size or position of the jaws rather than the teeth, tooth movement alone may not achieve the goal. In adults, some of those cases are best treated by orthodontics combined with jaw surgery by a maxillofacial surgeon; the specialist will explain if that applies to you and what the alternatives are.

We give a written price after the assessment, because cost follows the diagnosis. These are the factors that move it.
Orthodontic treatment at Creative Arts is diagnosed, planned and supervised by these two specialists.
A specialist orthodontist has completed postgraduate training focused on tooth movement and jaw growth. At Creative Arts every orthodontic case is assessed and planned by one of our two DHA-registered specialist orthodontists, Dr. Muhannad Kazzaz and Dr. Valeriia Kozachenko, whether you choose braces or Invisalign.
The specialist examines your teeth, bite and jaw, discusses what you want to change and takes or plans the records needed: photographs, a 3D scan and X-rays. You leave with an explanation of the options and, once records are complete, a written plan with the duration and cost.
Yes for teenagers, with braces or, where suitable, aligners. Children are assessed, ideally around age seven, to decide whether a problem such as a crossbite is worth treating early. In most children the answer is to monitor and treat later; the specialist explains why for your child.
Usually every few weeks while braces are on, for adjustments and checks, and at regular intervals with aligners to review fit and progress. The schedule is set out in your plan. Missing appointments or breakages are among the main reasons treatment takes longer.
Often, and it is usually better in that order. Aligning teeth first can mean fewer or thinner veneers, less cutting for crowns, or the right space for an implant. The orthodontist and the restorative dentist agree the goal before treatment starts.
Usually, yes. Existing fillings and crowns are planned around, and gum disease must be treated and stable before teeth are moved. Healthy gums throughout treatment matter as much as the appliance, so cleaning appointments are part of the plan.
They are not listed as treatments here. Our verified options are fixed braces and Invisalign clear aligners. If you are interested in a less visible fixed brace, ask at your consultation and the specialist will tell you what is available for your case.
