Why Choose Braces?
- Improved Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to clean your teeth properly, leading to plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease. Braces help align your teeth, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
- Better Chewing and Digestion: Properly aligned teeth improve your ability to chew food efficiently, which aids in better digestion. Misaligned teeth can cause difficulty in chewing, leading to improper digestion and related health issues.
- Boost in Confidence and Self-Esteem: A straight, beautiful smile can significantly boost your confidence and self-esteem. Feeling good about your smile can positively impact your social interactions and professional opportunities.
- Tailored Treatment Options: We have a range of treatment options that can cater to different aesthetic preferences and lifestyle needs, making the process more convenient and less noticeable.
- Long-Term Investment in Your Appearance: While braces may require an initial investment of time and money, the long-term benefits far outweigh the costs. A well-aligned smile can last a lifetime with proper care, making it a valuable investment in your overall appearance and well-being.
Made from transparent or tooth-colored materials, clear ones blend in with your natural teeth, making them an aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment. While they are not entirely invisible, their discreet appearance makes them difficult to detect, especially from a distance. Most people will likely not notice you are wearing them unless they are looking closely. This makes them an excellent choice for those who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Work similarly to traditional braces, using brackets and wires to move teeth over time. The brackets are made of a clear or tooth-colored material, making them less noticeable.
- Clear Aligners: A series of custom-made, clear plastic trays are worn over the teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gradually moving the teeth into the desired position.
The duration of orthodontic treatment with braces can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the type used, and the patient’s age and cooperation. On average, most people wear them for about 18 to 24 months. However, some treatments can be as short as six months, while others may take up to three years or more.
Good candidates include individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Both teenagers and adults who prefer a more discreet treatment option are often interested in clear braces.
Clear braces can be just as effective as traditional braces for many orthodontic issues. However, in cases of severe misalignment or complex bite problems, traditional metal braces might be more effective. Your orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
- Clear Aligners: Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Brush your teeth and clean the aligners before reinserting them. Store aligners in their case when not in use to avoid damage or loss.
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Brush and floss carefully around the brackets. Avoid foods that can stain the brackets or get stuck in the wires, such as sticky, hard, or staining foods.
- Clear Aligners: Aligners are designed to be replaced every one to two weeks, so staining is usually not an issue if proper care is taken.
- Clear Ceramic Braces: The brackets themselves are resistant to staining, but the elastic ties holding the wires can stain from foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and curry. Regular visits to the orthodontist for adjustments can help minimise staining.
