What to Expect

The Treatment Process

1

Orthodontic Assessment

X-rays and clinical examination to map out your treatment plan, including timing and bracket type.

2

Bracket Placement

Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with an archwire. No drilling or injection is needed, and it takes about 1–2 hours.

3

Regular Adjustments

Monthly visits to tighten the wire and monitor progress. Each adjustment brings teeth closer to alignment.

4

Removal & Retainer

After 12–24 months, braces are removed and a retainer is fitted to hold the new position.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Braces are suitable at any age. In children, most dentists suggest starting between 11–14 years when most permanent teeth have erupted, and an early assessment from age 7 can help plan treatment. Adults can begin at any time.

Most cases take 12–24 months. Complex cases may take longer. Your dentist will provide a timeline at consultation.

There may be mild soreness for a few days after each adjustment. This is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Absolutely. We offer ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces for adults who prefer a less visible option. Clear aligners are also available.

Sticky, hard, or chewy foods should be avoided — including gum, hard candy, popcorn, and ice. We provide a full guide at the start of treatment.
