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.

Wonderful treatment and everyone is extremely friendlyPeter, Portugal, 16 09 25

I have never known a more efficient, professional dental surgery in the whole of my 72 years. Wonderful treatment and everyone is extremely friendly. I didn't believe dental work could be pain free, but this dental clinic certainly takes care to show that it is. I have always had a fear of the dentist, but no more. I had a full upper set of implants and I am over the moon with the work. Thank you.

He carried out the necessary treatment very effectively and efficientlyDavid, Portugal, 04 06 22

I had been in a lot of discomfort from a back tooth while on holiday. I found the Clinic Price on a search. I was given an appointment on a Saturday morning. Dr Bettencourt was extremely friendly and very competent. I should be able to judge as I'm a Dentist!! He carried out the necessary treatment very effectively and efficiently. If the toothache is spoiling your holiday, ring Dr Bettencourt!!

I never expected so much gentleness, availability and humanity for an unimaginable priceClaudia, Italy, 29 08 23

Unfortunately, I arrived at Portimão with a bad toothache. Then I went to Smile up for a visit and found out how lucky I was. Dr. Martins visited me and told me how to proceed with the care of the tooth. I never expected so much gentleness, availability and humanity for an unimaginable price. If I stayed longer, I would have done some implants with Dr. Martins and his staff. Once again a big thank you!! Claudia

The staff and doctors there were very helpful, professional and easy to work withSteve, Portugal, 23 11 24

I recently went to Clinica Pacifico for issues with some of my bottom teeth, fearing I was going to lose at least three. The staff and doctors there were very helpful, professional and easy to work with. Not only were they able to save the three teeth they were able to fit me with a partial denture that is effective, comfortable and many thousands of dollars less expensive than what I thought I would require. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who requires dental work.
