Teeth braces are devices used in orthodontics and dentistry to align, straighten, and position your teeth to improve dental health, oral aesthetics and any biting or teeth alignment problems. For how long do you need to wear braces for? On average, it takes about 24 months to complete an orthodontic treatment. Some patients require less than 12 months, while some require over 3 years of treatment. It hugely depends on how complex your teeth condition is, and the type of braces you have.

Unlike conventional braces, aligners are clear and thin plastic-like trays that fit on our teeth. They are usually not permanent and can be put in and removed by the user. Usually, aligners should be put on all the time except for when having meals or when practising oral hygiene like brushing or flossing.

Lingual braces are known as ‘invisible’ braces because they are mounted behind the teeth away from sight, giving you a more natural look during your orthodontic treatment period. For how long do you need to wear braces for? Like metal braces, lingual braces take about 24 months on average to complete an orthodontic treatment. Some patients require less than 12 months, while some require over 3 years of treatment. It hugely depends on how complex your teeth condition is.

Self-ligating braces are fitted in like conventional metal braces, but without elastic rubber bands or metal ties. Clips or brackets are instead used to attach the wires so that they can move naturally with the teeth as they realign, resulting in a more comfortable, better looking treatment.

Retainers avoid teeth from moving back to their original positions after braces or aligners are removed. They prevent movement of teeth until the growth of our gums and skeletal muscles are reorganised following the changes. The frequency of wearing retainers and the length of time needed to keep them on vary, we usually need to wear them for full time for about 6 months, and then only during the night time after that.

Child braces are dental braces for children to align, straighten, and position your teeth to improve dental health, oral aesthetics and any biting or teeth alignment problems. Child braces are usually less complex and more straightforward than adult treatments, because adults have generally more oral conditions to look out for during orthodontic treatments. On average, it takes about 24 months to complete an orthodontic treatment. Some patients require less than 12 months, while some require up to 3 years of treatment. It depends on the complexity of your oral condition.

Dental X-Rays are essential, diagnostic tools that provide information not visible during a dental exam. Dentists and dental hygienists use this information to safely and accurately detect hidden problems and complete an accurate treatment plan. Without x-rays, problem areas may go undetected. Dental X-Rays reveal abscesses, cysts, bone loss, any abnormalities in TMJ problems, tooth decay, teeth developmental abnormalities, poor tooth and root positions, and problems inside a tooth or below the gum line.
