Orthodontic treatment (Braces) can help to fix various dental misalignments such as crooked teeth, protruding teeth, spaced out teeth and missing teeth.
Metal braces made up of stainless steel bracket which are highly effective and budget friendly. These bracket are placed on your teeth using an adhesive (glue) and connected with wire to move teeth according to the specific prescription for each bracket.
Conventional braces use colourful band to hold the wire to the each bracket, whereas self ligating braces have their own lock to hold the wire in the bracket.
Most importantly, it is a painless procedure during placement of bracket!

Every individual is different, the duration for treatment usually ranges from 2 to 3 years, depending on the condition. However, your dentist will discuss the expected duration with you before initiating the braces treatment.

Is there an age limit for getting braces? Are braces only for teenagers?
There is no age limit for braces. While braces is often recommended during the teenage years because tooth movement is more efficient in younger patient and there is some growth that can be beneficial during treatment. Adults can also benefit from braces as teeth can be straightened during adulthood.
