FAQ
What are braces?
Braces are orthodontic appliances used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires and elastic bands. Braces can be made from metal or ceramic materials. They gradually move teeth into their proper positions by applying continuous pressure, helping to improve dental health and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
How do braces work?
Braces work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to your teeth over time. The brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected by a wire, which our orthodontist adjusts periodically. These adjustments help guide your teeth into their correct positions. Elastic bands may also be used to apply additional pressure or to correct specific issues, such as bite alignment. The process gradually shifts the teeth and reshapes the bone, ensuring long-lasting results.
How long does treatment with braces take?
The duration of braces treatment varies depending on the complexity of your dental issues. On average, treatment lasts between 18 to 24 months, but some cases may require a shorter or longer time frame. Our orthodontist will provide a personalized treatment plan and timeline based on your specific needs and goals. Regular adjustments and good oral hygiene practices are essential to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the treatment.
What happens after my braces treatment is completed?
After your braces treatment is completed, you will enter the retention phase to maintain your new smile. This typically involves wearing a retainer, which helps keep your teeth in their new positions while your gums and bone stabilize. We will provide instructions on how often and how long to wear your retainer. Regular follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure your teeth remain properly aligned. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending dental check-ups are crucial for preserving the results of your orthodontic treatment.
