Removable braces are a popular choice, particularly for more cosmetically oriented orthodontic problems, but sometimes fixed braces can offer more predictable and potentially faster results. Fixed braces can be especially good for children’s orthodontics as our dentists can precisely plan the movement of their teeth, correcting even complex orthodontic problems that can be less suitable for removable braces treatment. We will always suggest the option we feel will provide the best outcome for you. If there is more than one option, we will discuss these with you, providing you with all the information required to make an informed choice.
Treatment can take a few months, to a year or more. Times can vary considerably depending on the problems requiring correction and the chosen braces system. When you first come to see us, we will be able to fully assess your smile and can provide a timeframe for treatment.
