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

View More
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
