Dental braces are orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth and correct bite problems. Treatment takes place gradually, with your dentist monitoring your progress throughout the process.
Straighten misaligned teeth
Correct bite problems (overbite and underbite)
Close gaps between teeth
Boost confidence with a new smile
There are several types of braces to choose from. Your dentist will recommend a suitable option based on your teeth alignment, bite concerns, treatment needs and personal preferences.
Conventional braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth gradually into better alignment. They are a widely used option for correcting various teeth alignment and bite problems.
Iconix braces feature stainless steel brackets with a champagne-coloured finish, offering a different look from conventional silver metal braces.
Self-ligating braces use built-in clips to hold the orthodontic wire in place, instead of the elastic ties commonly used with conventional braces.
Ceramic braces use brackets in a shade similar to natural teeth, making them less noticeable than conventional metal braces.
Clear aligners are custom-made transparent trays that gradually move teeth into better alignment. They can be removed when eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth.
The right type of braces depends on your teeth and bite, and many patients start by comparing Invisalign vs braces .

Treatment duration depends on your dental condition and the type of braces used. Typically, treatment takes between 1.5 and 2.5 years. Simple cases may be completed sooner, while more complex cases may take longer.
Common risks or side effects include:
Mild discomfort or pain: Pressure on the teeth after adjustments may cause temporary soreness.
Mouth irritation: Brackets or wires may rub against the inside of the cheeks or lips.
Gum inflammation or swelling: Poor oral hygiene can lead to gingivitis.
Tooth discolouration or white spots: These may develop if plaque builds up around the brackets.
Difficulty eating or speaking: This is usually temporary during the first few weeks.
Allergic reactions (rare): Some individuals may be sensitive to metals or rubber materials used in orthodontic appliances.
Contact the clinic as soon as possible to arrange an adjustment appointment. Avoid trying to fix it yourself, as this could injure your gums or cause unwanted tooth movement.
You may experience mild discomfort or soreness for a few days after getting braces fitted or adjusted. This is normal as your teeth begin to adapt to the pressure. The discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
