BRACES

Before placing dental braces for adults on your teeth you will need a check-up for decay or gum problems. Do visit your dentist or the School Dental Clinic regularly, even when you are on braces.

First Visit: X-rays, photos and impressions for plaster study models of your teeth are taken. Your dentist orthodontist will plan your treatment and calculate the teeth straightening cost by using these records.Second Visit:Your dentist will explain the treatment plan and the braces suitable for your condition. Sometimes before braces are fitted, separators (small plastic ‘doughnuts’) are placed between your molars for a week to create spaces for the molar bands.Third and Fourth Visits:Bands are cemented and brackets are bonded to the front of your teeth.

Steps in Fixed Braces Treatment

When treatment is completedYour fixed braces will be removed at a debanding appointment, followed by removal of cement and the polishing of your teeth. Moulds of your teeth in their new positions are taken to make retainers. After your braces are removed, you will always need retainers to hold your teeth in their new positions. Fixed retainers can be provided with small wires stuck to the inside surface of the front teeth.
