Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Whether you are dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, professional orthodontic treatment can restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. At Rashid Medical Centre, our dedicated orthodontics department has helped hundreds of patients across Ajman and the Northern Emirates achieve lasting results.
Types of Braces We Offer
Choosing the right type of braces is one of the most important decisions in your orthodontic journey. As a leading dental clinic in Ajman, we provide four proven systems so that every patient can find a solution that fits their lifestyle, budget, and treatment goals.
Metal Braces
The most time-tested and cost-effective orthodontic system. Modern metal brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Ideal for complex cases and suitable for patients of all ages, metal braces deliver reliable, predictable results.
Ceramic Braces
Tooth-coloured ceramic brackets blend seamlessly with your natural enamel, offering a discreet alternative to metal braces. They work using the same mechanics but with significantly improved aesthetics, making them popular among working professionals and older teenagers.
Damon Self-Ligating Braces
The Damon system uses a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties to connect archwires, reducing friction and the need for frequent adjustments. Patients often experience shorter treatment times, fewer appointments, and greater comfort throughout the process.
Clear Aligners
Removable, virtually invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into position. Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues and offer unmatched convenience. You can eat, brush, and floss without restriction throughout your treatment.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process
Understanding what to expect helps you feel comfortable before, during, and after treatment. At Rashid Medical Centre, we follow a structured approach to ensure the best possible results for every patient.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Reeja Moideen performs a thorough clinical examination, takes digital X-rays, and evaluates your bite, jaw alignment, and facial symmetry. This comprehensive assessment forms the foundation of your personalised treatment plan.
Customised Treatment Plan
Based on the diagnostic records, Dr. Reeja will present you with a detailed treatment plan that outlines the recommended type of braces, the estimated duration of treatment, the expected outcome, and a transparent breakdown of costs. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and select the option that best suits your needs.
Braces Placement or Aligner Delivery
The placement of fixed braces typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and is completely painless. For clear aligner patients, you will receive your first set of custom-made trays along with detailed wearing instructions.
Regular Adjustments & Monitoring
You will visit the clinic every four to six weeks for adjustments to your braces or to receive your next set of aligners. During these appointments, Dr. Reeja monitors your progress, makes any necessary modifications, and ensures your treatment stays on schedule.
Braces Removal & Retention
Once your teeth have reached their ideal positions, the braces are removed and a retainer is provided to maintain your new smile. Dr. Reeja will advise on retainer wear and schedule follow-up visits to ensure long-term stability.

Conditions We Treat with Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment at our dental clinic in Ajman addresses a wide range of alignment and bite issues, including:
- Crowded teeth — teeth that overlap or twist due to insufficient space in the jaw.
- Spacing and gaps — noticeable spaces between teeth that can affect appearance and oral hygiene.
- Overbite — upper front teeth that protrude significantly over the lower teeth.
- Underbite — lower teeth that sit in front of the upper teeth when biting.
- Crossbite — upper teeth that bite inside the lower teeth on one or both sides.
- Open bite — front teeth that do not touch when the back teeth are closed.
- Midline discrepancy — the centre of the upper and lower teeth does not align.
Left untreated, these conditions can lead to uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and increased risk of cavities and gum disease. Early intervention with orthodontic treatment can prevent these complications and improve overall oral health.
