  • What are dental braces used for?

    Braces help correct misaligned teeth, gaps, and bite issues by applying gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into proper alignment over time.

  • What types of braces are available?

    We offer metal, ceramic (tooth-colored), and self-ligating braces. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your alignment needs and aesthetic preferences.

  • How long does treatment with braces take?

    On average, 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Minor corrections may take less time, while more extensive adjustments can take longer.

  • Do braces hurt?

    You might feel slight soreness or tightness after placement or adjustments — this is normal and usually subsides within a few days. Discomfort can be managed easily with mild pain relief if needed.

  • How do I take care of my teeth with braces?

    Brush after every meal, use an interdental brush or floss threader, and avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods that could damage the brackets or wires.

  • How often are follow-up visits needed?

    Typically every 4–6 weeks, to adjust the wires and track your progress.

  • Can adults get braces too?

    Yes. Braces are effective at any age, and many adults choose ceramic or self-ligating options for a more discreet look.
