Orthodontic Treatment for Adults and Children
Orthodontic treatment is not just for teenagers. An increasing number of adults in Beirut and the Metn area are straightening their teeth with clear aligners or discreet braces. Whether you are 12 or 52, properly aligned teeth improve not only your appearance but also your bite function, making it easier to chew, clean your teeth, and avoid uneven wear.
At Lebanon Dental Studio, our orthodontic specialists offer traditional braces and clear aligners for patients of all ages. For children, early orthodontic evaluation (recommended around age 7) can identify developing problems and allow for interceptive treatment that prevents more complex work later.
Gentle Pediatric Dental Care
Children require a different approach to dental care, one built on trust, patience, and positive experiences. Dr. Rita and the team create a welcoming environment where children feel safe and comfortable. Our pediatric services include:
- Routine checkups and cleanings for children of all ages
- Fissure sealants to protect newly erupted permanent molars from cavities
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel
- Space maintainers to preserve proper spacing when baby teeth are lost early
- Habit correction for thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting
- Early orthodontic assessment to catch bite issues and alignment problems early
We welcome children at both our clinic at C.Metric Dbayeh and C.Metric Dbayeh. After-school appointments are available to accommodate family schedules.
What Braces Cost in Lebanon Depends On
There is no single price for braces, because no two mouths start from the same place. When the orthodontic team quotes your treatment after the first assessment, the estimate is built from a few concrete factors:
- The appliance you choose. Traditional metal braces, ceramic braces that blend with the tooth, and clear aligners each sit at a different point on the cost scale.
- How far your teeth need to move. Mild crowding resolves in fewer visits than a deep bite or a jaw discrepancy, and time in treatment is the biggest cost driver.
- One arch or both. Some cases only need the upper or lower teeth treated.
- The retention phase. Retainers after active treatment protect the result and are part of an honest quote, not a surprise at the end.
Payment is typically staged across the months of treatment rather than paid up front, which is one reason braces are more accessible than most people assume. For a personal assessment and a written estimate, message us on WhatsApp or see how treatment estimates work.
Orthodontics & Pediatric FAQ
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation around age 7. This allows us to identify developing bite issues and determine if early intervention is beneficial. Not every child needs early treatment, but evaluation helps us plan ahead.
Clear aligners vs braces: which is better?
Both are effective. Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making them popular with adults and older teens. Traditional braces are sometimes more effective for complex cases. Our orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your specific alignment needs.
Is my child too young for the dentist?
No. We recommend a first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting. These early visits are brief, gentle, and focused on building trust and monitoring development. Parents are welcome to accompany their child throughout the visit.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Traditional braces typically take 12-24 months, while clear aligners may take 6-18 months for mild to moderate cases. Our orthodontic specialist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
How much do braces cost in Lebanon?
It depends on the appliance type, the complexity of your case, whether one or both arches are treated, and how long the teeth need to move; the section above walks through each factor. After the first assessment you receive a written, personalized estimate with staged payments, so you know the full picture before anything starts. The consultation itself commits you to nothing.
