All You Need to Know About Braces

Braces are one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth and improve oral health, but if you're considering this treatment, you might have a few questions. Here's everything a common person wants to know about braces:

How Do Braces Work?

Braces use gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into their desired position over time. They consist of brackets attached to your teeth, wires that guide their movement, and sometimes elastic bands for added correction.

Types of Braces Available

There are several types of braces to fit different needs and lifestyles :

• Metal Braces : Traditional and reliable, these are made of stainless steel and are the most affordable option.
• Ceramic Braces : Tooth-colored and less noticeable, ideal for those looking for a discreet option.
• Lingual Braces : Hidden behind your teeth, offering a completely invisible solution.
• Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) : Removable and nearly invisible trays that are customized for your teeth.

How Long Will I Need to Wear Braces?

The duration depends on your specific alignment issues but typically ranges from 1 to 3 years. Simple cases may take as little as 6 months, while complex corrections could take longer.

Are Braces Painful?

Braces may cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or orthodontist-approved methods.

What Are the Costs?

The cost of braces varies depending on the type and complexity of the treatment. Traditional metal braces are usually the most affordable, while ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners tend to be more expensive. We offer flexible payment plans to make the treatment accessible.

How Do I Care for My Braces?

• Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss daily using special orthodontic floss or floss threaders.
• Use a water flosser for easier cleaning.
• Visit your orthodontist regularly for adjustments and checkups.

Do Adults Need Braces Too?

Absolutely! More adults are opting for braces or clear aligners to correct their smiles. The treatment is just as effective for adults as it is for teenagers.

What Happens After Braces Are Removed?

Once your braces are off, you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain the results and prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position. Retainers may be fixed or removable, depending on your orthodontist’s recommendation
