Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to gradually move teeth into improved positions. They can be used to address a range of alignment and bite concerns and are suitable for many children, teenagers and adults.
Your treatment begins with a detailed dental and orthodontic assessment. Based on your tooth alignment, bite, dental health and treatment goals, your dentist will recommend the most appropriate braces option for you.
Braces provide controlled tooth movement and can effectively address a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
Braces apply controlled forces to gradually guide teeth towards their planned positions.
Orthodontic treatment can help address crowded or overlapping teeth by creating a more organised alignment.
Braces can gradually reduce unwanted spaces between teeth when orthodontic treatment is appropriate.

Braces may help correct certain bite concerns, including overbite, underbite and crossbite.
Better-aligned teeth can make brushing and flossing easier and may support improved long-term oral hygiene.
A carefully planned orthodontic treatment can help create a more balanced and functional smile.
A structured treatment journey allows your orthodontic team to monitor tooth movement and make adjustments throughout treatment.
Your dentist or orthodontist examines your teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationship to understand your orthodontic requirements.
Dental photographs, X-rays, scans or other diagnostic records may be used to evaluate your teeth and develop a personalised treatment plan.
The selected braces system is carefully placed on your teeth and adjusted according to your treatment plan.
You attend scheduled appointments so your dental team can monitor tooth movement and make necessary adjustments as treatment progresses.
Once the planned tooth movement is achieved, your braces are removed. A retainer may then be recommended to help maintain your new tooth positions.
Different types of braces may be recommended depending on your orthodontic needs, treatment goals and individual preferences.
Traditional metal braces use brackets and orthodontic wires to gradually move teeth. They are a commonly used option for a wide range of orthodontic cases.
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or less noticeable brackets, providing a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
Self-ligating braces use specialised brackets designed to hold the orthodontic wire without conventional elastic ligatures. Suitability depends on the individual case.
For more complex alignment or bite concerns, a comprehensive braces treatment plan may involve longer treatment and regular monitoring.
Braces may be suitable for children, teenagers and adults with a range of tooth alignment and bite concerns.
The suitability of braces depends on factors such as tooth position, bite, gum health, jaw development and overall dental condition. An orthodontic assessment is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Brush carefully around your brackets, wires and gum line to help remove food particles and dental plaque.
