Patient guidance

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Treatment (Braces)

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Most treatments take between about 12 and 24 months, depending on the problem and the appliance used. Your orthodontist will give you an estimate after examining you.

Are invisible aligners as effective as traditional braces?

Aligners work well for many mild to moderate cases. More complex problems may need braces. Your orthodontist will explain which option suits you.

What is the ideal age for a child to see an orthodontist?

A first check around the age of 7 is commonly recommended, so that any problems can be spotted early. Treatment may start then or later, depending on the child.

Do braces hurt?

Teeth can feel sore for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted. This usually settles quickly and can be eased with simple pain relief if your orthodontist agrees.

Can adults have braces?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment is possible at any age as long as your teeth and gums are healthy.
