Dental Braces

Why do I need dental braces?

Crowded or crooked teeth spoil your smile and are also more prone to dental problems. These include decays and gum (periodontal) disease.
Braces can be used to straighten any crooked teeth. Adults can also straighten their teeth with dental braces but it will take longer to correct the problems.

How many types of dental braces are there?

There are 2 types of dental braces: fixed braces and removable braces. The most common type of fixed braces are made of metal while there are also tooth-coloured (ceramic or plastic) braces.

Removable braces are dental braces which are taken out of the mouth when you brush your teeth.

What is the process of wearing braces?

Braces work by applying force and pressure to your teeth.
Adjustments will have to be made once every few weeks to gradually move your teeth into the desired positions over time to give you the smile you desire.

How long will treatment take?

The whole orthodontic treatment takes on average 1-2 years to complete, though some individuals may require a shorter or longer time. We strongly advise you to come regularly for your adjustments to hasten the process. With the advancement of dental braces technology, it is now possible to straighten teeth with minimum discomfort and time.

Are there alternatives to visible metal braces?

Aesthetically, it is possible to use invisible braces which no one will notice. Some types of invisible braces are placed behind the teeth so no one can see them. Others, like Invisalign and eCligners, make use of a series of custom-made invisible aligner trays to gently and gradually move your teeth into position.

Now you can smile without anyone knowing you are wearing dental braces. No more feeling self conscious or embarrased with invisible dental braces!
