What are Braces?
Metal braces are robust and often used for a wide range of movements. Ceramic braces are less noticeable. The right choice depends on case complexity and oral hygiene.

Age alone does not rule out braces. Gum and bone health must be stable. Children's timing may relate to growth and eruption.

Adults and children
Age alone does not rule out braces. Gum and bone health must be stable. Children's timing may relate to growth and eruption.
Who may need braces? People with crowding, spacing or bite problems, after gums and decay are stable enough to move teeth.
Are braces only for teenagers? No. Adults with healthy gums can have orthodontics.
How long does orthodontic treatment take? Many alignments finish between one and three years. Missed appointments make it longer.
Your treatment journey
-
You describe what is bothering you and share medical and dental history. Questions come before any treatment is planned.
-
Photographs, X-rays as needed, and impressions or scans. Decay and gum disease are treated before moving teeth.
-
Findings are explained in plain language. Imaging is used when the extra detail is likely to change the plan.
-
Options, likely visits, aftercare and alternatives are discussed so you can decide.
-
Brackets and wires are fitted. Adjustments are scheduled. Broken braces should be reported.
-
Retainers are essential afterwards. Relapse is common without them.
What happens during the procedure?
Records
Photos, X-rays and impressions or scans are taken before appliances are fitted.
Fitting
Brackets and wires are placed. Ceramic or metal options depend on the case.
Adjustments
Periodic reviews move the plan forward. Missed visits slow progress.
Hygiene
Cleaning around braces is part of care, not optional.
Retention
Retainers are needed afterwards to limit relapse.
Potential advantages and things to consider
Potential advantages
Continuous movement
Fixed braces work all day because they stay on.
Wide range of movements
Some rotations and bite problems are more predictable with braces than with trays.
Things to consider
Hygiene
White-spot decay can appear if plaque sits around brackets.
Time
Many courses last 12–30 months, but simple and complex cases sit outside that range. Forcing speed risks root shortening.
Retainers are not optional
Teeth have a memory.
Which option may be considered?
Braces versus clear aligners. Neither is automatically faster.
| Topic | Fixed braces | Clear aligners |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Align teeth and improve bite with brackets and wires | Move teeth with worn trays in selected cases |
| Typical process | Fit, periodic adjustments, retainers | Scans, attachments, sequential trays, retainers |
| Considerations | Hygiene around brackets; always on | Works only when worn ~20–22 hours |
How technology supports treatment planning
The Dental Hut in Airoli has in-house CBCT and OPG. Imaging may assist evaluation when it is clinically required. It is not a scan for every patient.
Cone-beam CT creates a 3D volume of teeth and jaws. It may be used for implant channels, some impacted teeth and selected endodontic questions.
An OPG is a 2D panoramic X-ray of both jaws. It is often enough for a broad survey of teeth, wisdom teeth and jaw relationships.
A clinical examination of teeth, gums and bite remains the starting point. Imaging is added only when extra detail is likely to change the plan.
What happens after treatment?
Follow the instructions provided by your dentist.
Immediately after
Soft foods after a new fit or tightening. Pain relief only as suitable for you.
First few days
Wax on poking wires. Call if a wire is cutting the cheek.
Ongoing care
Retainers. Wisdom teeth and gum health are still reviewed.
Follow-up
Keep adjustment visits. Broken brackets add months.
When to contact your dentist
Consider getting in touch if you notice:
- Persistent or worsening pain
- Significant swelling
- Unexpected symptoms in the treated area
- A temporary restoration that comes off
- Bleeding that does not settle as advised
What can affect treatment cost?
Fees are quoted after examination.
- Treatment complexity
- Number of teeth involved
- Materials used
- Diagnostic requirements
- Additional procedures
- Individual treatment planning
