What are Braces?
Braces are dental devices that help in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. They work by applying gentle, constant pressure to your teeth over time, gradually moving them into their ideal positions. Most people get their braces done while they’re still young, but it’s never too late for adults who are interested in straightening their teeth.
Improved Oral Health
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities. It also distributes chewing forces more evenly, preventing excessive wear and tear on your teeth
Reduced Pain or Discomfort
In some cases, misaligned teeth can contribute to jaw pain or discomfort. Braces can help correct these issues, alleviating any existing discomfort and preventing future problems
Reduced Gum Recession
Crooked teeth can put uneven pressure on the gums, potentially leading to gum recession
Improved Bite Function
A well-aligned bite allows for proper chewing and reduces strain on the jaw joints, minimising the risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems that can cause pain and headaches

FAQs on Braces
The average treatment time with braces can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but it typically ranges from 12 to 24 months.
You may experience some mild discomfort during the initial placement and adjustment of your braces. Over-the-counter pain relievers can usually help manage any discomfort.
While some initial adjustments might be needed, most people can continue playing sports and instruments while wearing braces. Your orthodontist can advise you on any necessary precautions.
Braces are not just for teenagers! Orthodontic treatment can be successful for adults as well. In fact, a growing number of adults are choosing braces to achieve a straighter smile and improve their oral health.
After your braces are removed, you will likely wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Regular retainer wear is crucial to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
