What are braces?

Braces are dental devices used to align teeth correctly so that patients get beautiful smiles, comfortable bites and clear speech. The dental speciality that covers braces is called orthodontics.

What types of braces are available?

Braces are structural or cosmetic. Structural braces are fitted for children while cosmetic braces are placed for adults and adolescents. Braces may be fixed or removable. Structural or traditional braces are made of stainless steel. Cosmetic braces are made of clear ceramic material or clear plastic. Some braces are self-ligating, that is, they use a slide mechanism rather than elastic bands to connect to the dental archwire. Lingual braces are metal braces placed on the inner surface of teeth. This type of brace is not visible and are preferred by patients requiring cosmetic braces.

How long do you have to wear braces for?

The length of orthodontic treatment depends on the needs and orthodontic problems of each individual patient. Treatments for adults may take a longer time. On average, patients need to wear braces for about 2 years and then they need to wear a retainer to maintain the corrected position of teeth. For some adults treatment may take about 3 years.

How are braces installed on teeth?

For fixed braces, the orthodontist dries the teeth and places glue or bonding cement on the braces. The braces are placed on teeth and a UV light is shone on them to cure the glue or cement. For removable braces, an impression of the teeth is taken and a technician makes the removable brace consisting of a plastic plate and wires. The brace is then fitted on teeth.

How do braces work on teeth?

Braces exert a steady pressure on teeth. The pressure is periodically adjusted as needed by the orthodontist. Eventually the pressure exerted by braces corrects the alignment of teeth.

Do braces hurt?

Braces are uncomfortable when first placed on teeth. Patients experience soreness and need to get used to the pressure exerted on the teeth by braces. Patients normally get used to braces within a month.

I can finally enjoy a beautiful smile for the rest of my lifeAnna, Ireland, 05 03 21

I would like to thank Dr. O'Connor for completing the orthodontic treatment that the other doctor couldn't do. For 4 years I attended another orthodontist who was unable to finish straightening my teeth. when Dr. O'Connor was recommended to me, from the very first minute I knew that I was in good hands. Within a month, Dr. O Connor made the teeth straightened according to my expectations and the braces were taken off where another doctor could not do it for 4 years. My only regret is that I didn't find Dr. O Connor from the very beginning. At the end of the treatment, I bought a whitening kit from the doctor and I can finally enjoy a beautiful smile for the rest of my life. Thank you once again and I sincerely recommend Dr. Oconnor for professionalism, fast and effective treatment. Couldn't be happier with the service I was given! 👍
