The best age for braces is around the teenage years as the teeth move more easily and there is minimal wear on the teeth. As an adult, you can still get braces and if the teeth are suitable, there is no age limit.

Metal braces are considered to be the best at moving teeth, as well as the fastest but depending on complexity, Invisalign can work just as well as braces.

The teeth will be tender as they move. The teeth may be sore when a new wire is first placed but it will resolve after a few days. Some patients may experience a dull ache at first but it can usually be managed with painkillers such as Panadol or Nurofen.

Depending on the severity of the bite problem, braces may take 12-24 months to work.

Braces may subtly change your lower face shape by improving the alignment of the teeth. This means your smile may become broader and your lips may have more/less support.

Patient will usually have appointments every 6-8 weeks.

Once the braces are removed, retainers need to be worn every day to keep the teeth in their new positions.

If using Invisalign, you can take it out when eating to give you comfort but it is recommended to only take it out a few hours at a time. For traditional braces, it is recommended to avoid any crunchy, hard or sticky foods which could potentially break the braces.
