A common misconception is that braces are primarily for improving aesthetics and appearance. However, the truth is, having braces can significantly boost your oral health.
Misaligned and crowded teeth make it difficult to clean properly, leading to issues like bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. With braces, you not only get a straighter smile but also a healthier one. By correcting alignment, braces make it easier to brush and floss, helping prevent future dental problems.
When teeth overlap or are too close together, it can be hard to clean properly, leading to plaque build-up, cavities, and gum disease. Braces help align the teeth for easier maintenance
When the upper and lower teeth don’t meet correctly, it can cause uneven wear on teeth, jaw pain, and even difficulty chewing. Braces help correct these issues, improving function and comfort
Gaps or spaces between teeth not only affect appearance but can also cause food to get trapped, leading to gum problems. Braces close these gaps, giving you a more even smile
By fixing alignment early, braces can prevent more serious dental issues down the road, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss.
Metal braces are the most traditional and durable option for straightening teeth. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they effectively correct various dental issues like misalignment and bite problems. Their affordability, strength, and precision make metal braces a reliable choice for achieving a healthier, straighter smile.
Damon braces use a self-ligating system with a sliding mechanism, reducing friction and pressure on teeth for a more comfortable experience. They move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments compared to traditional braces. Damon braces are also more discreet, using clear brackets for a less noticeable appearance.
The first step in your braces journey is a consultation with our orthodontist. We will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your dental goals. Together, we’ll decide which type of braces best suits your needs—whether it’s traditional metal braces, self-ligating braces, or Damon braces
Once a treatment plan is in place, it’s time to get your braces fitted. The orthodontist will clean your teeth and bond the brackets onto your teeth, followed by threading the archwire through them. The entire process takes about 1 to 2 hours, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout.
Every 4 to 8 weeks, you’ll visit the clinic for adjustments. During these appointments, we’ll tighten the braces to keep the teeth moving in the right direction. You might feel some pressure after each visit, but it’s a sign that your teeth are aligning properly.
Proper oral hygiene is essential while wearing braces. We’ll teach you how to brush and floss with braces, and provide tips on foods to avoid (like sticky or hard foods). Keeping your teeth clean will help prevent any complications, like cavities or staining, during your treatment.
After several months or years—depending on your treatment plan—your teeth will be in their perfect position. The day your braces come off is a big moment! The removal process is quick and painless, revealing your new smile.
Once your braces are off, you’ll be given a retainer to help maintain your new alignment. Wearing your retainer as instructed is crucial to keeping your teeth in their new position
