How Braces Treatments Work
Braces apply gentle, controlled forces to move your teeth slowly and gradually into their proper position. Braces can correct mild to complex dental problems such as crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, where a thorough evaluation is conducted to determine whether braces are the optimal choice for your unique needs. Following this, we create a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific orthodontic requirements, discussing timelines, expectations and considerations.
You can choose from traditional metal or clear ceramic braces for a more discreet look. Small brackets made of metal or ceramic are attached to the front surface of each tooth using a dental adhesive. These brackets act as anchors for the wires that will guide the movement of the teeth. An archwire is threaded through the brackets, connecting them. Our dentist will make regular adjustments throughout your treatment to monitor and guide the progress of your teeth as planned. Our dental hygienist will also help guide you on cleaning techniques to help you maintain optimal oral hygiene throughout and after your treatment.
The duration of your treatment can vary depending on the complexity of your case, typically lasting for about two years. The braces must be worn 24/7 and can only be adjusted by your dentist. At the end of your treatment, you will be given retainers to help cement newly aligned teeth into place.

Metal Braces
Metal braces consist of metal brackets, wires, and bands bonded to your teeth for the duration of your treatment. The wire is attached to the brackets with small rubber bands. You can choose from a range of different coloured bands for a more personalised look. With technological advancements, braces can now be produced at a much smaller size with improved treatment times.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are similar to metal ones but have clear brackets, blending seamlessly with the natural tooth colour. Ceramic braces provide the same results while offering a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces. This makes them a popular option for people who want a less conspicuous look than metal braces.
