Braces

We understand that a straight smile is more than just an aesthetic goal; it’s a cornerstone of good oral health. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of braces to help you achieve the perfectly aligned smile you’ve always wanted. Braces are a tried and trusted method for correcting misaligned teeth and bites, suitable for both children and adults.

What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic devices used to realign uneven jaws and teeth. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure over time, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position. This process not only improves the alignment of your teeth but also helps prevent future dental issues that can arise from malocclusion, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw pain. At Zen House Dental, we offer a variety of braces options, each tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of our patients.

Types of Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

The most popular kind of braces, these are renowned for their longevity and ability to effectively treat a variety of orthodontic conditions. Modern metal braces are more comfortable than ever, with smaller brackets and the option to customise them with colourful bands, making them a fun choice for younger patients.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces have a similar function as metal braces but are made from materials that are the colour of natural teeth or transparent, making them less noticeable. They are a popular option for older teens and adults who want the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are placed on the inside surface of the teeth, making them invisible from the outside. This option is ideal for those who require significant orthodontic correction but prefer a treatment that is completely hidden from view.

Benefits of Braces

Improved Oral Health

When your teeth are aligned correctly, cleaning them is easier. This lessens the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Additionally, braces can correct bite problems, which can prevent jaw pain and uneven wear on your teeth.

Enhanced Appearance

A straight, well-aligned smile can do wonders for your confidence. Whether you’re preparing for a big life event or simply want to feel better about your appearance, braces can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

Prevention of Future Issues

Addressing orthodontic problems early on can prevent more severe dental issues in the future. By choosing braces, you’re investing in your long-term oral health, potentially saving time and money on more complex treatments later in life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to wear braces?

The time you need to keep wearing braces depends on the complexity of your case, but most treatments last between 18 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will give you a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Are braces painful?

It is common to feel some discomfort during the first application of your braces or following revisions. But this normally goes away in a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort, and your orthodontist will provide tips on how to ease the adjustment period.

Can adults get braces?

Absolutely! Braces are effective for patients of all ages, including adults. To enhance their smile and dental health in later life, many adults decide to get braces. It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

How do I care for my braces?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial with braces. You should brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup around the brackets. It’s also important to avoid hard, sticky, or sugary foods that can damage your braces or cause cavities.

Will wearing braces affect my speech?

Some patients may notice a slight change in their speech when they first get braces, but this usually improves as you adjust to wearing them. If you experience any issues, your orthodontist can guide how to adapt.

If a bracket or wire comes loose, what should I do?

If this happens, contact Zen House Dental as soon as possible to schedule a repair appointment. In the meantime, you can use orthodontic wax to cover any sharp areas and prevent discomfort.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really don’t enjoy seeing a hygienist… I’ve had one or two bad experiences in the past but honestly Leah was superb… the best I’ve seen. Really took time to put me at ease, was caring, thoughtful and a fantastic bed side manner. Really happy with the service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super professional establishment with friendly staff who make you feel welcome each time. I was having issues with my front teeth moving and crumbling and so went to Zen House Dental to see what can be done.
I was not by any means expecting perfection, just something better than what I had, but perfection is exactly what I got.
I had some veneers and implants done. Now I cannot stop smiling.
Specifically, I cannot thank Dr.Eassun and his assistant Lauren enough for not only giving me a perfect smile but also oodles of confidence and also putting up with an occasional tantrum of mine. He stuck with me and made sure I was looked after and happy with the end result.
I am not just happy but over the moon and highly recommend this dental practice, but specifically, Dr.Eassun.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Dr Shivali highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient and always happy to go at my pace, which made such a difference to my confidence and comfort. She took the time to clearly explain all of my options, was very informative throughout, and never once pushed any treatment that she didn’t genuinely feel would benefit my teeth repair and improvement journey.

My treatment started with a root canal, and from there all the way through to the end of my Invisalign treatment, Dr Shivali has been amazing. She’s not only highly skilled, but also so friendly and reassuring — she really puts you at ease and makes every appointment feel far less daunting.

If I ever need any more dental work in the future (hopefully not!), I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Dr Shivali at Zen. She will always be my first choice.

I also have to mention how welcoming the front reception team are — they’re always a pleasure to see and chat with, and they truly add to the positive experience every time I visit.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve struggled to find a decent dentist near me for some time and I’m so pleased I have found Zen House. I had a hygienist appointment today by way of my own introduction to them and I couldn’t have been happier. The ‘house’ is beautiful, the receptionist warm and friendly and both the hygienist and nurse were so comforting, capable and made me feel at ease. They took the time to explain everything that was going on and how best to help me on my healthy teeth journey with great advice and tips. I feel very lucky to have found them and I look forward to my next appointment (who says that about a dentist?!)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with my composite bonding with Dr Ashkay. Great attention to detail ensuring my teeth look very natural. I had an old cap on my front tooth that was loose leaving only a small amount of tooth and he managed to match this with my other teeth using composite. Great result thank you!
