Understanding Dental Braces

1. What Are Dental Braces?

Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct and align teeth and help to position them concerning a person’s bite, improving dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, overbites, open bites, deep bites, crossbites, crooked teeth, and various other issues

2. What Is The Cost Of Braces?

The cost of braces can vary significantly depending on the type of braces (metal, ceramic, lingual, or invisible), the complexity of the case, and the duration of the treatment. At Smile Delight Dental Clinic, we provide a detailed cost estimate after a thorough evaluation during your consultation.

3. How Long Do I Need To Put On Braces?

The duration for wearing braces largely depends on the complexity of your case and the type of braces you have. On average, patients typically wear braces for about 18 months to 2 years. However, some cases may require a shorter or longer period.

4. Why Do I Need Braces?

Braces are typically required to correct malocclusion (misaligned teeth) which could be causing issues such as difficulty in cleaning teeth, leading to oral health issues like tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, braces can also help improve your appearance by aligning your teeth and giving you a confident smile.

5. Can I Eat When Having Braces On?

Yes, you can eat when you have braces on, but you’ll need to avoid certain types of food that can damage your braces. This includes hard, crunchy, and sticky foods. It’s also best to cut your food into small pieces to avoid putting too much pressure on your braces.

6. Bad Breath When Having Braces?

Braces can trap food particles, which if not cleaned properly, can cause bad breath. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene, which includes brushing after every meal, flossing daily, and using a mouthwash. Regular visits to your orthodontist or dentist for cleaning can also help manage bad breath.
