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.

The dentist told me that I didn't need a top set of dentures but was going to make me a bridge and take out three teeth. This is great news.

I was impressed by the professionalism of all staff and cleanliness of environmentCarol, UK, 19 05 22

I changed to this practice after speaking to friends who have received treatment here for a number of years. I was seen by Vinny, dentist and implant specialist (2 dental implants wanted). I was impressed by the professionalism of all staff and cleanliness of environment. The technical equipment is really impressive Vinny, is confident, knowledgeable, warm, friendly and reassuring. He takes time to explain everything, provide solutions and undertake surgery painlessly. His dental nurses are also very good. I am delighted with the implants which fit and are colour matched perfectly. I actually attended the dental technician's lab to ensure a perfect match. Thanks to all the practice staff, including the hygienist who treated me before treatment began.

I was extremely nervous but I couldn’t have been in better handsMrs, UK, 10 02 23

I have so much confidence in Dr Makhani and his team, I recently had some very difficult dentistry with a tooth extraction and the fitting of a bridge. I was extremely nervous but I couldn’t have been in better hands. Shahid Makhani had a very kind, gentle manner and was extremely professional. I can’t believe that I had no pain or discomfort and felt none of the injections or extraction. Dr Makhani made a wonderful bridge for me which is totally natural looking and comfortable. I would especially like to thank Mrs Makhani who could see I was anxious, she was so very kind and reassuring to me before and during my treatment. I very highly recommend Garden view Dental Care, they are a fantastic team.

Most importantly he took genuine interest in his client as much as in his problem.Shad, UK, 30 05 24

Dr.Karnan was just great. I returned to the clinic after 4-5 years and their efficiency was as caring and friendly as always. His diagnosis was immaculate, and his advice was sound. Most importantly he took genuine interest in his client as much as in his problem. Although I have moved out of London, and get much of my costly dental work outside the country, I still return to Karma Clinic for any back-up work to be done. I trust them.
