Don’t be! Gone are the days of train tracks running across teeth.
Today Braces are much less bulky and intrusive.
Beneficial to both adults and children alike; Braces are the most popular choice for Orthodontic treatment. Braces work by asserting gentle pressure on your teeth and over time moving them into their desired positions. Your Braces are then adjusted periodically to achieve the optimal result.
The time required for Braces treatment varies from person to person. This depends upon how far the teeth need to be moved, the age of the patient, the health of the teeth and gums during treatment and individual biology. An average treatment time is approximately 18 to 24 months. The best age to begin Orthodontic treatment also varies depending on the patient. We generally recommend bringing your child in for an assessment at around 8 years of age, enabling treatment to be started at the ideal time. Adult patients may commence Orthodontics at any age.
