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 have just received treatment at Long Beach Dental at Harbour Bay. From the moment I entered the practice, I was aware of the professional attitude of the staff and the attention given to me. My appointment was with Dr. Janel Welgemoed, the Senior Dentist of the practice, and I would take this opportunity to thank her for her professional advice and treatment.

Where true cutting-edge technology meets a commitment to careStoan, South Africa, 31 12 23

The best way to describe Opti-Smile is as a modern pioneer. Where true cutting-edge technology meets a commitment to care. The terms advanced diagnostic and state-of-the-art treatment are not over-the-top overstatements. They have such a commitment to tapping into technology and innovation that the actual in-the-chair experience is superior to others. All the people you encounter from the reception desk through to the dentists and assistants exude true care and friendliness. I highly recommend their tech-driven solutions for a confident smile.
