| Metal Braces | Clear Aligners | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical treatment length | Several months to around two years, depending on how much correction is needed | Several months to around two years, depending on the case |
| Check-in visits | Monthly in-office adjustments throughout treatment | Less frequent — tray changes happen at home roughly every one to two weeks |
| What changes month to month | The wire is adjusted at each visit, with some soreness for a few days afterward | You move to a new tray every one to two weeks, with mild pressure for a day or two |
| Daily routine | Extra care brushing and flossing around brackets and wires; very sticky or hard foods are best avoided | Trays worn 20–22 hours a day, removed only to eat and clean your teeth |
| After active treatment | A retainer is required to hold the result | A retainer is required to hold the result |
Most treatments take between 12 and 24 months overall, and you'll receive a personalized timeline after your consultation. Once the active phase ends, retainer wear isn't optional — skipping it is one of the most common reasons results shift back over time.

Aligning smiles with modern orthodontic solutions.Experience: About 10 years of clinical experience
No. Teeth can be safely moved at almost any age as long as your gums and supporting bone are healthy. Many of our orthodontic patients are adults looking to improve their smile, bite, or oral health.
Most treatments take between 12 and 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and whether you choose braces or clear aligners. After your consultation, we'll provide a personalized treatment timeline.
Both are highly effective. Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making them ideal for mild to moderate cases and patients who want a discreet option. Braces are often the best choice for more complex tooth movements and don't rely on patient compliance. We'll recommend the option that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Braces don't hurt during placement, but it's normal to feel mild soreness or pressure for a few days after they're fitted or adjusted. This discomfort is temporary and usually resolves on its own as your teeth begin to move.
Metal braces cost 30,000 EGP for the full mouth or 15,000 EGP per arch. Clear aligners cost 60,000 EGP for the full mouth. Your orthodontist confirms the right option after examination.

For most mild-to-moderate cases, yes — clear aligners move teeth just as predictably while being nearly invisible and removable for eating and brushing. Complex cases may still benefit from traditional braces; we advise honestly after diagnosis.
