Generally, getting braces isn’t very painful, thanks to advancements in modern technology. However, you may experience some soreness immediately after the braces are fitted and for a few days afterwards. Pain relief medication is typically provided. You may also feel irritation from the braces rubbing against your cheeks, lips, and tongue. To alleviate this, orthodontic wax is often used to prevent discomfort.

You still can eat most types of food while wearing braces, but there are certain foods that should be consumed in moderation or avoided entirely. This includes anything hard, as the aim is to prevent damaging your braces or breaking a tooth.

Traditional metal braces are a common choice, using metal brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into the correct positions. Though not the most discreet option, they are highly effective for addressing complex dental issues. For those seeking a more subtle solution, ceramic braces offer a similar function but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with the natural colour of the teeth. Another popular option is lingual braces, which are placed on the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside.

The estimated total cost for braces treatment is $4,300, which excludes retainers. Retainers, which are essential for maintaining the results after braces, are priced separately at $500. Post-treatment care involves wearing retainers as instructed to ensure the teeth stay in their new positions. For convenience, payment for braces treatment can be made in instalments. The cost is $200 every four weeks, and payments are made at each visit. This flexible payment plan allows patients to manage their expenses throughout the course of their treatment.

The price is the same for Students or NSF and different for adults. For students and NSF it start from $3,500. For adults the cost of braces varies depending on the materials used. The standard metal braces treatment start from $3,800 and ceramic braces cstart from $4,300 with instalment plans.

The braces process starts with an initial consultation with dental professionals to assess your orthodontic needs and explore options like ceramic braces, metal braces, and clear aligners. Based on your specific needs and preferences, the dentist will recommend the most appropriate treatment. Once a decision is made, the braces or aligners will be fitted or provided for daily use. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to track progress and make adjustments as necessary, with the goal of achieving optimal teeth alignment.

Yes, the quality of the braces materials, such as the brackets and wires, can affect the results.
