ORTHODONTICS / BRACES

Orthodontic Appliances (Dental braces) are devices that align and straighten teeth and help position them with regard to a person’s bite, while also aiming to improve dental health. Braces can also help you look after the long-term health of your teeth and gums and make eating more comfortable, by spreading the biting pressure across all your teeth.

The best time to have braces is generally during childhood. It is recommended that your child gets an orthodontic check-up from the age of 8.  Early consultation allows the orthodontist to determine the optimum time for treatment to begin. Early treatment can eliminate the need for more drastic measures.

You Can Have Braces At Any Age

  • Dental braces are most commonly associated with teenagers, simply because this is when most people first notice their crooked teeth.
  • There is no age limit for this kind of corrective treatment though, so don’t be put off by the stereotypes. You can use braces to correct misaligned teeth at any age, just so long as your teeth and gums are reasonably strong.
  • Dental braces are not suitable for patients with weakened gums or poor dental health.
