Frequently asked questions
General educational answers. A direct clinical assessment remains essential for choosing the right appliance and treatment duration.
What are metal braces?
They are a fixed appliance made of brackets bonded to the teeth and an orthodontic wire that delivers controlled forces to move teeth gradually according to the treatment plan.
Can metal braces treat complex cases?
They can be used for a wide range of cases, but suitability depends on the teeth, gums, jaw relationship, and individual treatment objectives.
How long does treatment take?
There is no single duration for everyone. Treatment time depends on case complexity, required movements, biological response, attendance, and appliance care.
Is discomfort after fitting or adjustment normal?
Temporary pressure or soreness may occur during the first few days after fitting or some visits. Contact the clinic if pain is severe or unusually persistent.
How do I clean my teeth with braces?
Brush carefully around the brackets and above and below the wire with fluoride toothpaste. Use an interdental brush or orthodontic floss as advised.
Which foods should I avoid?
Avoid very hard or sticky foods that may loosen brackets or bend wires. Cut crunchy foods into small pieces rather than biting them directly with the front teeth.
