Braces at Surrey Central Braces

Braces are a tried-and-true orthodontic solution for addressing issues like crooked teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites. This treatment involves attaching metal brackets to the teeth, connected by wires and elastic bands. These components work together to apply gentle, steady pressure, slowly guiding teeth into their ideal positions.

There are several types of braces to choose from, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces that match your tooth color, and lingual braces that are placed behind the teeth. Each option has its own advantages, allowing your orthodontist to select the best fit for your unique needs and lifestyle.

Benefits of Braces

 

Braces offer more than just a straighter smile—they provide several long-term benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Here are some key advantages:

  • Effective for Complex Issues: Braces are incredibly versatile, addressing everything from minor misalignments to more complex orthodontic problems.
  • Precision and Control: Since braces are fixed in place, they allow for precise adjustments to tooth movement, ensuring the best possible results.
  • Variety of Options: Whether you prefer traditional metal, subtle ceramic, or hidden lingual braces, there’s a style to match your needs and lifestyle.
  • Durability and Strength: Built from durable materials, braces can handle the demands of everyday life while delivering consistent, reliable results.
  • Improved Oral Health: By straightening your teeth and correcting bite issues, braces make brushing and flossing easier, lowering your chances of cavities and gum disease.

The Braces Treatment Process

Getting braces is a simple and effective process designed to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation: Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation at Surrey Central Braces. Our orthodontists will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the best type of braces for your specific needs.

Application of Braces: Once you decide to move forward, your orthodontist will carefully place the brackets on your teeth and connect them with an archwire. This appointment is relatively quick and involves minimal discomfort.

Adjustments and Check-Ups: Every 4-8 weeks, you’ll visit our clinic for adjustments. During these appointments, your orthodontist will tighten the wires, change elastics, and monitor your progress to ensure your teeth are shifting as planned.

Oral Hygiene and Care: Maintaining good oral hygiene is key during your treatment. We’ll provide you with tips and tools to keep your teeth and braces clean, along with advice on foods to avoid to prevent damage.

Completion and Retainers: Once your teeth have reached their final positions, your braces will be removed, revealing your brand-new smile! To maintain your results, you’ll receive custom retainers, which should be worn as directed by your orthodontist.
