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.

Everything was explained to me thoroughly and I am delighted with the resultsLorna, UK, 21 12 21

I had been unhappy with some of my teeth for many years. After a consultation with Mr Shah I decided to go down the route of tooth implant. Right from the start, I have to say this is not a cheap option. However, having decided on this I must say that the procedure was as painless as it possibly could be. It is a long process as Mr Shah prefers for everything to heal properly rather than rush things through. Everything was explained to me thoroughly and I am delighted with the results. I have got my smile back. For anyone unhappy with their smile, go with it. You won’t regret it

The staff are friendly and helpfulChandrakant, UK, 05 07 23

I am terrified of Dentists and hence, delaying is my way of putting off the visits till it becomes very necessary. My visit last Friday at the Shine Dental - Mansfield Business Park, Four Marks, Medstead, Alton was a good comforting experience. It is a very welcoming clinic. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nikki, the hygienist was very good and gave me good advice to help me for the future care, I need to do. Thank you to everyone.

A thoroughly positive experience and I hope the start of a long term relationshipDenis, UK, 13 04 22

My first appointment at what was a new practice for me was everything I hoped it would be. At the reception, I was warmly welcomed and put at ease and soon felt as if I had been a long-standing patient. The dentist fully involved me in decisions about my treatment, explaining possible issues and possible remedies clearly, acknowledging too that I present limitations that could necessitate modifying the proposed actions. Equipment was up to date and clearly explained to me and throughout the appointment, I was put at ease and treated with care. A thoroughly positive experience and I hope the start of a long term relationship.

That treatment is now coming to a close and I intend taking my special needs son to himJean, UK, 17 06 18

I found Vivek a very professional and friendly dentist. He was new to the practice. I was a very apprehensive patient. I was very nervous. I have not been to a dentist in 40 years. All my teeth had to be removed from the hospital and I went to Vivek for dentures. That treatment is now coming to a close and I intend taking my special needs son to him. I chose this clinic after reading reviews online.
