Braces (Metal & Ceramic)

Fixed orthodontic brackets and wires that gradually straighten teeth and correct the bite.

About this treatment

Braces use small brackets attached to the teeth, connected by a wire that is adjusted over time to move the teeth gradually into a better position. Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets, while ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that are less noticeable.

Treatment involves regular review appointments for adjustments. Your dentist will assess your teeth and bite, explain the options and expected treatment length, and advise on caring for your teeth while wearing braces.

Braces (Metal & Ceramic): common questions

Ask us a question

How long will I need braces?

Treatment time depends on how much the teeth need to move. Your dentist will give you an estimate after the assessment.

Are braces painful?

Teeth can feel sore for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted. This usually settles on its own, and soft foods can help in the meantime.
