Understand the treatment

How metal braces work

Metal brackets and a wire move teeth gradually. Your assessment checks tooth position, bite and gum health before recommending braces or another suitable option.

  • Fixed braces remain attached between appointments. Treatment still relies on careful cleaning, attending adjustments and following instructions about elastics or other appliances.

Compare the choices

Your treatment options

The complexity of your bite and the movements required help determine whether braces or aligners fit your needs.

During and after care

Adjustments & treatment time

Many courses take around one to two years, although complex movements may take longer. Reviews are often every six to eight weeks, adjusted to your plan. Teeth may feel sore after fitting or adjustment. Breakages, missed visits and unworn elastics can delay progress.

Caring for braces & retainers

Brush with fluoride toothpaste and clean carefully around brackets and between teeth. Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the brace. Keep routine dental checks and follow your retainer instructions after treatment.

Your questions, answered

How long will I need metal braces?

Many courses take around one to two years, but complex cases can take longer. Your bite, attendance, breakages and cooperation affect the timeline.

Are braces painful?

Teeth may feel sore for a few days after fitting or adjustment. Ask the team about comfort measures and contact them if pain persists or the brace breaks.

Are retainers included in the cost?

Ask for a written quote showing treatment reviews, retainers and any additional procedures. Retainers are a necessary part of maintaining the result.

Do fixed braces still need cooperation?

Yes. Attend adjustments, clean thoroughly, protect the brackets from hard or sticky foods and wear elastics if prescribed. Fixed appliances still need daily care.

Could I choose clear aligners instead?

Possibly. The best option depends on your teeth, bite and the movements required. Your clinician compares suitable choices and the responsibilities involved.
