Experience simple aligner treatments for brighter smiles and long-term results. Straighten your teeth naturally with our custom-made transparent aligners and braces.

Why Choose Invisalign?

The World’s Most Advanced Clear Aligner

Your orthodontist will take impressions of your teeth and send them, along with your prescription, to Invisalign.

• SmartTrack® Material: Only Invisalign transparent aligners use this proprietary plastic to straighten your teeth with ease and precision.
• Custom Trimmed: Unlike other orthodontic appliances, Invisalign is gentle on your teeth and gums.
• Treatment in as Little as 6 Months: The technology and patented material can help you achieve the smile you want faster than you might think.

A Smart Tech Approach

iTero Invisalign Scanning

Equipped with iTero digital scanners, our orthodontists at My Child and I can perform advanced Invisalign treatments with precision and accuracy. Here’s how iTero scanners work: the digital scanner is positioned on the surface of the patient’s teeth and slowly maneuvered to their gums and soft tissues. Using the data from these high-resolution systems, the dentist can develop a 3D model of the teeth, followed by Invisalign hole filling and edge trimming. Finally, the scan is sent to the local providers of Invisalign for making the custom transparent aligners.

SmileView

SmileView is an innovative AI-generated virtual simulation that enables you to obtain a visual prediction of your smile, both before and after the Invisalign treatment. By employing this technology, you can preview the outcomes of your Invisalign treatment before they even begin!

While actual results may vary, this smile visualization tool will inspire you to start your Invisalign treatments today and attain the ideal natural-looking smile you’ve always wanted.

Straightening Your Teeth

Benefits of Braces

• Prevent Bone Erosion: Braces help maintain the integrity of your jawbone by ensuring proper alignment.
• Improve Speech: Correcting misalignment can help resolve speech problems, such as lisps.
• Fix Malocclusion: Braces address bite issues and ensure proper alignment of the teeth.
• Reduce TMJ Disorders: Properly aligned teeth can alleviate pressure on the jaw and reduce the risk of TMJ disorders.
• Enhance Oral Hygiene: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Dental braces are wire-based appliances that serve multiple purposes, such as treating abnormalities of the teeth and jaw and correcting bite problems. With a team of expert orthodontists, we help to straighten and improve the appearance of your teeth using our top-quality braces.

Additionally, our orthodontists emphasize that braces play a crucial role in preventing root resorption and other periodontal diseases from affecting your oral health. At My Child and I, we offer various types of braces to suit your dental care needs.

Incognito lingual braces represent an advanced generation of custom-made braces that are discreetly placed on the back of the teeth, unlike traditional “train tracks.” These lingual braces are ideal for patients who wish to maintain their normal routines without feeling self-conscious about their orthodontic treatment.

The Incognito Lingual Braces Procedure

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Your orthodontist will take impressions of your teeth and send them along with your prescription to the Incognito Appliance System laboratories.

Step 2: Scanning and Planning

The models from your impressions are scanned into a computer. A highly-trained lab technician will collaborate with your orthodontist to determine your individual treatment needs.

Step 3: Custom Fabrication

Your Incognito braces are created using CAD/CAM technology. Each wire and bracket is uniquely designed to fit your teeth perfectly.

Step 4: Delivery and Bonding

Your Incognito braces are delivered to your orthodontist for your bonding visit, where they will be securely attached to the back of your teeth.

Damon braces are an innovative orthodontic treatment that utilizes “self-ligating” technology. This means that the brackets themselves hold the wire in place without the need for elastics or metal ties. Many patients dread the tightening appointments associated with traditional braces, but the Damon system eliminates this discomfort by allowing for more freedom of movement and reducing the need for adjustments.

Benefits of Damon Braces

Enhanced Comfort

Unlike traditional braces that are secured with elastics, which can cause friction and pressure, Damon braces allow teeth to move freely, quickly, and comfortably.

Easy to Clean

Damon braces are designed for comfort and cleanliness. Without elastic ties that can trap plaque, it becomes easier for you to brush and maintain oral hygiene.

Discreet Appearance

The Damon system offers discreet, clear brackets, helping patients feel less self-conscious about their braces.

Fewer Appointments

With Damon braces, you will require fewer appointments for adjustments, leading to a more convenient treatment process and potentially reduced overall treatment time.

How Do Damon Braces Work?

Damon braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to the teeth, allowing for efficient and effective movement. As a result, treatment time with Damon braces is often shorter compared to traditional braces. Additionally, the self-ligating design and gentle pressure contribute to a more comfortable experience throughout your orthodontic journey.

Gone are the days when people had to wear traditional metal braces that left them with a train track smile. Thanks to modern dentistry, you can now achieve a confident smile with the seamless installation of ceramic braces.

At My Child and I, we offer some of the highest quality ceramic braces in Dubai.

Advantages of Ceramic Braces

More Natural Looking

Ceramic braces are clear or tooth-colored, providing a more discreet appearance compared to metallic braces. You can choose between clear, white, or even colored ceramic options to match your style.

Less Painful

Ceramic braces are generally less painful than traditional metal braces. The ceramic brackets and thinner archwires apply less pressure on the gums and cheeks, resulting in a more comfortable experience.

Durability

While the initial cost of ceramic braces may be higher, they are made from strong, durable materials that are resistant to damage. This means you can rely on their longevity throughout your treatment.

Stain-Resistant

Unlike the colored brackets used in metal braces that can fade over time, ceramic braces are clear or tooth-colored and naturally stain-resistant, reducing the chances of discoloration.

Faster Results

Ceramic braces can provide faster results compared to clear aligners. Typically, you can expect clear alignment within 18 to 36 months, making them effective for treating mild cases of malocclusion.

Metal braces are a tried-and-true solution for aligning teeth. Constructed from durable stainless steel, these braces consist of brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by an archwire. The archwire exerts gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. Consider metal braces for a straighter, healthier smile.

Benefits of Metal Braces

• Highly durable, making them a reliable choice
• Fast-acting in straightening teeth
• Help prevent future dental issues
• Ideal for severe misalignment cases
• Minimize the risk of premature tooth wear
• Cost-effective compared to other orthodontic treatments

Metal Braces Can Fix

• Misalignment of the teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overcrowding of the mouth
• Protruding front teeth
• Bruxism (teeth grinding) and tongue biting
• Bite problems, including overbites and crossbites
• Correct malocclusion (bad bite) issues
• Improve chewing and speech difficulties

Why Choose Metal Braces?

• Effective for misaligned teeth, especially in severe overcrowding cases
• Available in various modern styles, shapes, and colors for aesthetic appeal
• More affordable compared to treatments like Invisalign or ceramic braces
• Corrects severe orthodontic conditions
• Reduces the risk of premature tooth wear
• Early intervention with metal braces can also correct gummy smiles

Are You a Good Candidate for Metal Braces?

• Aged between 10 years and adulthood
• Have crooked or misaligned teeth
• Teeth and gums are in good health
• Generally maintain good oral hygiene

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the alignment of your teeth after orthodontic treatment. Once your braces are removed, My Child and I will provide you with a custom-made retainer designed to hold your teeth in their new position, preventing any shifting or malocclusion—when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly when your mouth is closed.

Retaining Your Smile

Benefits of Dental Retainers

• Alignment Support: Retainers help stabilize the alignment of your teeth, bones, muscles, and gums.
• Habit Correction: They can assist in eliminating habits such as tongue thrusting or teeth clenching.
• Space Filling: Retainers effectively fill gaps between teeth.
• Oral Health Maintenance: They make it easier to uphold good oral hygiene practices.
• Speech Improvement: For children with speech impairments, retainers can aid in correcting tongue placement.

Personalized Orthodontic Care

Why Choose Us?

At My Child and I, we offer high-quality dental retainers in Dubai, ensuring you receive the best aftercare following your orthodontic treatment. Our experienced dentists will guide you in selecting the most suitable retainer—either removable or fixed—based on your specific dental structure.

Patients typically have two options for retainers:

• Hawley Retainers: Removable retainers made from acrylic or plastic.
• Essix Retainers: Clear, removable aligners that fit snugly over your teeth.
• Bonded (Fixed) Retainers: Made from metal wire, these are permanently attached behind your teeth.

Myobrace® is designed to correct your child’s natural growth and teeth alignment while addressing upper and lower jaw developmental issues. Between the ages of 6 to 10, when children are getting their first permanent teeth, it’s crucial to monitor their dental health, as this is when teeth can become crowded and jaws may become misaligned.

Avoid the Need for Braces

At Dr. Michael’s Children’s Dental Center in Dubai, we understand that certain oral habits—such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, thumb sucking, and reverse swallowing—can lead to crooked teeth. These habits negatively impact your child’s jaw and facial development, potentially resulting in orthodontic problems.

The goal of Myobrace is to achieve naturally straight teeth for life, often eliminating the need for braces and retainers.

Goals of Myobrace® Treatment for Kids:

• Keep the lips together at all times, except when talking or eating.
• Train the child to breathe through the nose, promoting proper jaw development and correcting the bite.
• Ensure no lip movement during swallowing to allow proper front teeth development.
• Improve teeth alignment.
• Enhance facial development.

Clear aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional braces, designed to gradually move your teeth into their proper position using gentle pressure. One of the most appealing aspects of this orthodontic treatment is the absence of wires and brackets.

Exploring Your Options

Are You a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

If you’re an adult or teen concerned about the appearance of traditional braces, clear aligners provide the perfect solution. Nearly invisible and easy to clean, they can be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, or during short social gatherings.

These discreet aligners allow you to maintain your routine with minimal discomfort. However, for more severe cases, traditional braces may be a more appropriate treatment option.

Clear orthodontic aligners are typically recommended for patients with mild to moderate crowding or minor spacing issues. Those with severe crowding, spacing, or bite problems may require a more complex treatment approach.

Correcting More Than Just Alignment

Clear Aligners Help Fix Issues Like:

• Overlapping or crowded teeth
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Diastema (small or large gaps between teeth)
• Open bites, a rare type of malocclusion

Benefits of Clear Aligners:

• Convenience: Clear aligners are comfortable to wear and easy to remove.
• Caring for the Aligners: They are simple to clean and maintain.
• Comfort: Without wires and brackets, there’s no irritation to your gums and cheeks.
• Fewer Dental Appointments: You will require fewer visits to the dentist with these aligners.
• Smile Enhancement: Virtually invisible, they allow for a seamless smile.
• Reduced Risk of Dental Issues: By properly aligning your teeth, they help minimize exposure to dental problems like protrusion.
• Better Oral Hygiene: Removable aligners encourage better dental hygiene practices.
• Avoid Common Challenges of Metal Braces: Say goodbye to the challenges associated with metal braces.
• Reduced Treatment Time: While treatments with metal braces can take over two years, clear aligners can align your teeth in as little as 12 months.
