Considering Braces to
Straighten Your Smile?
If you’re concerned about crooked teeth or the way your bite feels, it may be worth considering orthodontic treatment such as braces.
Braces are used to gradually move teeth into a more ideal position, which can support both function and appearance over time.
How Braces Support
Your Teeth and Bite
Braces may help to:
- Support oral health by addressing crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, which can contribute to tooth wear or make cleaning more difficult
- Improve bite function so your teeth meet together more evenly when you chew
- Make cleaning easier, as straighter teeth are often simpler to brush and floss around
If you’d like to know whether braces are suitable for you, you’re welcome to book a consultation. Your dentist will examine your teeth, explain possible treatment options, and discuss expected outcomes and costs so you can make an informed decision.
Note: All cosmetic and surgical procedures carry risks. Please ensure you read the associated risks and treatment considerations prior to treatment. You may also seek a second opinion.

Frequently Asked Questions
The average time frame for wearing braces is about 18 to 24 months, but it can vary depending on the severity of your bite problems and how well you take care of your braces.
You may experience some discomfort and tenderness for a few days after getting your braces put on or adjusted. Over-the-counter pain relievers can usually manage this discomfort.
The length of time it takes to get braces can vary, but typically it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to have braces placed on your teeth. After the placement of braces, follow-up appointments are usually required to adjust the braces and ensure proper placement.
While you have braces, it is recommended to avoid hard, crunchy, sticky, and sugary foods as they can damage the braces or cause tooth decay. Soft foods, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and pasta, are good choices. Your dentist will provide you with a complete list of foods to avoid.
