How can wearing braces help you?
Correcting misaligned teeth: Braces are commonly used to correct misaligned teeth, which can cause various dental problems such as overcrowding, crooked teeth, and an uneven bite.
Preventing dental problems: By correcting misaligned teeth and improving the bite, braces can prevent future dental problems from developing eg. tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw problems.
Improving speech and eating: Braces can help improve speech and eating by properly aligning the teeth and improving the bite.
Boosting confidence: Braces can also help boost confidence by improving the appearance of the teeth and smile.
What To Expect
If you’re getting braces, here’s what you can generally expect:
Consultation: We will evaluate your teeth, take x-rays, and discuss the best treatment options for you. We will also explain the process, the timeline, and the cost.
Preparation: Before getting the braces, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned, and any necessary dental work such as fillings or extractions will be done. We may also take impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.
Placement: Once the preparations are complete, the braces will be placed on your teeth. This involves bonding brackets to your teeth and connecting them with wires. The process may take up to two hours.
Adjustment: You’ll need to visit our clinic regularly for adjustments, which involve tightening or replacing the wires and adjusting the brackets. This will help gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
Oral hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial while wearing braces. We will show you how to brush and floss your teeth properly, and recommend tools such as interdental brushes or water flossers.
Removal: Once your teeth have shifted into the desired position, the braces will be removed. We may also recommend a retainer to maintain the results.
Getting braces can be a significant investment of time and money, but the long-term benefits for your dental health and confidence can be well worth it. Remember to follow your dentist’s instructions for care and maintenance to ensure the best possible outcome.
