BRACES · ORTHODONTICS · KUWAIT
Straighten your teeth and correct your bite with braces fitted by a specialist orthodontist in Salmiya. From classic metal braces to discreet ceramic and efficient self-ligating options, Dr. Jefna Sagir brings 13+ years' experience and 500+ completed cases.
There are several types of braces, and the right one depends on your case, your budget, and how visible you'd like them to be. Dr. Jefna offers the full range:
Traditional metal braces are the most well-known and reliable option. High-quality stainless-steel brackets and wires gently guide your teeth into place — effective for virtually every case, and usually the most affordable choice.
Also called clear braces or transparent braces, these use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in for a far more discreet, almost invisible look — with the same proven results as metal braces. A popular choice for adults who want braces that barely show.
A modern bracket design — such as Damon braces — that holds the wire without elastic ties, which can mean fewer appointments and easier cleaning. Available in metal or ceramic. Dr. Jefna will advise whether they suit your case.
Fixed braces placed on the inner surface of the teeth, so they stay hidden from view — a discreet option for those who want fixed treatment that no one can see.
As a specialist, Dr. Jefna handles complex and surgical cases in-house — so even difficult bites can be treated without referral.
Braces are fixed and work continuously, which makes them ideal for complex movements and for patients who prefer not to manage removable aligners. Invisalign clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which many adults and teens prefer for everyday life. At your consultation, Dr. Jefna will recommend the option that's right for your case.
The cost depends on the type of braces and how complex your case is. We've put together a clear breakdown — including what's included and the payment options available.

Most braces treatments take between 12 and 30 months, depending on the complexity of your case. At your first visit, Dr. Jefna will give you a clear, personalised timeline.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after your braces are fitted or adjusted — this is normal and settles quickly. Dr. Jefna uses gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout.
Are braces only for children?
Not at all. Adults make up a large share of orthodontic patients, and braces work at any age. Ceramic braces are especially popular with adults who want a discreet option.
How often will I need appointments?
Usually every few weeks for an adjustment, though self-ligating braces can mean fewer visits. Your exact schedule is set out in your treatment plan.
Will I need a retainer after braces?
Yes — a retainer keeps your teeth in their new position. Dr. Jefna creates a custom retention plan for every patient as the final step of treatment.
