Editor's take
Invisalign uses clear removable aligners changed every 1–2 weeks, while traditional braces bond brackets to the teeth. In the UAE, Invisalign typically costs AED 15,000–30,000 versus AED 8,000–20,000 for braces. Treatment length is similar for most cases (12–24 months). Invisalign wins on aesthetics and removable convenience; braces are more predictable for complex bite corrections. Both are offered by DHA-licensed orthodontists across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
