questions

FAQ

01 How long does braces treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients wear braces for 12-24 months. Simple alignment issues may take less time, while more complex cases involving bite correction or significant tooth movement may take longer. During your consultation, our Specialist Orthodontist will assess your specific needs and provide a personalised timeline.

02 Do braces hurt?

You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when braces are first fitted and after adjustment appointments, but this usually settles within a few days. It's not painful, more of a pressure sensation as your teeth begin to move. Any discomfort is temporary and a sign that your treatment is working.

03 Can adults have braces?

Absolutely. There's no age limit for orthodontic treatment, and many of our patients are adults seeking to improve their smile and bite. Whether you're in your 20s, 40s, or beyond, braces can effectively straighten your teeth and correct alignment issues. Our Specialist Orthodontist will assess your oral health and discuss whether braces are the right option for you.

04 How often do I need adjustment appointments?

You'll typically visit us every 6-8 weeks for adjustment appointments, where your Specialist Orthodontist will check your progress and adjust the wires to continue guiding your teeth into position. These appointments are usually quick and straightforward, and they're essential for keeping your treatment progressing smoothly.

05 How do I care for my braces?

Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush, taking care to clean around the brackets and wires. Flossing is essential too - use superfloss threaders or interdental brushes to clean between your teeth and under the wires. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage your brackets, and attend all your scheduled adjustment appointments to keep your treatment on track. Ensure sugar in the diet is low to avoid decay and stains.

06 What happens after my braces come off?

Once your braces are removed, you'll be fitted with retainers to hold your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding bone and tissues stabilise. Retainers are crucial for maintaining your results long-term, and you'll need to wear them as directed by your Specialist Orthodontist
