Brace (orthodontic treatment)

Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked, gapped, rotated or crowded teeth. There are several types of braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners like Invisalign®.
Braces improve your smile’s health, function and appearance.
Initial Consultation and Examination
The first step for dental braces is for a patient to be referred to an orthodontist due to concerns about the positioning of the teeth in the jaw. In the first orthodontist appointment, the teeth should be examined manually and with X-rays images. It is also important to discuss the dental history with the patient, which will help to guide the treatment decisions.
Fitting of Dental Braces
A cheek retractor is used to make sure that the teeth remain dry and visible throughout the procedure to place dental braces. The teeth should be polished well, conditioned, air-dried and primed before the brackets are placed to help the bonds to form properly.
Adjustment of Dental Braces
Regular appointments to adjust the dental wires are needed to ensure that the repositioning of the teeth continues throughout the process. These appointments are necessary because elastic ties that hold the wires in place stretch and become weaker with time so that the pressure is reduced.
Removal of Dental Braces
At the conclusion of treatment with dental braces when the teeth have been repositioned as desired, it is time to remove the braces. This process is relatively simple and not painful.

What age is best for braces?
-
You’re never too old for orthodontics. That said, the best time for braces is generally between the ages of 9 and 14. At this point, your jaws and facial bones are more malleable (flexible) because they’re still developing. Adult braces are just as effective, but it might take a little longer to achieve the desired results.
How long do braces take to work?​
-
The answer to this question is different for everyone. On average, braces treatment takes about two years to complete. But it depends on the severity of misalignment. Some people finish treatment in under 12 months. Others may need as long as three years.
