What is Braces & Aligners?

Orthodontic treatment gradually moves teeth into better positions using gentle, controlled pressure. Fixed braces use brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire. These can be metal or tooth-coloured ceramic.

Clear aligners are a series of removable, transparent trays, each worn for a set period. The right option depends on your teeth, your bite and your lifestyle.

Why it may be needed

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite or crossbite
  • Teeth that are hard to clean because of their position
  • Teeth that have moved over time

Braces & Aligners: frequently asked questions

Have another question? Message us on WhatsApp.

How long does treatment take?
It varies widely, often from several months to around two years, depending on how much movement is needed. The dentist will give you an estimate for your case.
Am I too old for braces?
Adults can have orthodontic treatment if their teeth and gums are healthy. Your suitability is checked at the consultation.
Braces or aligners: which is better?
Neither is better for everyone. Some bite problems are better suited to fixed braces, while aligners may suit others. The dentist will explain the options for your teeth.
Do braces hurt?
Many people feel soreness or pressure for a few days after fitting and adjustments. This usually settles.
How often will I need visits?
Regular review visits are needed throughout treatment. How often depends on the type of appliance.
Why do I need a retainer?
Teeth tend to move back towards their old positions. A retainer helps hold them in place after treatment.
