What Are Dental Braces?
Dental braces are small brackets attached to each tooth and connected with a wire. This wire applies gentle, steady pressure that gradually moves your teeth into their correct positions.
💡 Why Braces Work: Braces are effective for simple spacing issues as well as more complex alignment and bite concerns, offering precise control over every tooth movement.
How Dental Braces Straighten Your Teeth
Every 4–6 weeks, we adjust the wires to guide your teeth step by step. Over time, this controlled movement reshapes your smile and improves your bite.
Braces can correct:
Your First Braces Appointment
During your initial consultation, we'll create a comprehensive treatment plan:
- Thorough dental check-up and discussion of your goals
- Digital scans, photographs and X-rays (if required)
- Planning of tooth and jaw correction strategy
- Placement of brackets and wires with careful positioning
✓ Our Commitment: We make every visit comfortable and clearly explained so you know what to expect at each stage.
Treatment Duration with Braces
The time needed varies based on your specific case:
- Mild cases: Around 12 months
- Moderate cases: 12–18 months
- Complex cases: 18–24 months (sometimes longer)
📅 Individual Timeline: Your exact treatment time depends on how much correction is needed and how well instructions (like elastic wear) are followed.
Is the Process Painful?
You may feel slight tightness or pressure for a few days after braces are placed or tightened. This is completely normal and simply means your teeth have started moving.
Discomfort usually settles quickly and is manageable with simple pain relief and soft foods in the first day or two. Most patients adjust within 3-5 days.

Caring for Your Braces
Proper care ensures healthy teeth and gums throughout treatment:

- Wear elastics or other attachments exactly as instructed
- Attend all scheduled adjustment appointments
🪥 Essential Tip: Good cleaning habits keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment and prevent white spots or decay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will I need to wear braces?
Most patients wear braces between 12 and 24 months, depending on how severe the crowding or bite issue is and how well treatment instructions are followed. We'll give you a personalized estimate after your consultation.
Are braces only for children and teenagers?
No. Many adults successfully straighten their teeth with braces. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, age is not a barrier. We treat patients of all ages.
Can I eat normally with braces?
You can enjoy most everyday foods, but it's important to avoid very hard, sticky or chewy items (like hard candies, caramel, popcorn kernels, and ice) that can damage brackets and wires.
Are braces better than clear aligners?
For very complex cases or significant bite changes, braces are often more effective because they provide greater control. Clear aligners are a great option for mild to moderate corrections. We'll suggest what works best for your specific teeth and goals.
What if a bracket or wire breaks?
Don't panic. Call the clinic for an appointment and avoid trying to fix it yourself. If a wire is poking and causing discomfort, you can cover it with orthodontic wax until your visit.
Will I need to wear a retainer after braces?
Yes, retainers are essential after braces to maintain your new smile. You'll typically wear them full-time for a few months, then nightly for long-term stability. We'll provide detailed retainer instructions.
