When it’s time to have your braces fitted, this painless process will take around 30 to 45 minutes. Our Oral Health Therapist will start by polishing and applying an adhesive to prime your teeth, then will apply bonding glue to stick on your brackets. The adhesive is only temporary throughout your braces treatment and won’t damage your teeth. We will then slide your archwire through and hold it in place with elastics. Once finished, we’ll then explain how to look after your teeth and braces.
Your total time in braces will depend on the complexity of your orthodontic problem and which type of braces you opt for. However, as a general rule most patients will wear braces for between 12 and 24 months.
When you first get your braces fitted and after any adjustments, your teeth can feel a bit sensitive as your teeth begin their tooth movement journey. However, this is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and should disappear within a few days. Keeping your teeth and gums clean during your braces treatment can also help reduce any discomfort.
At our Practice with Dr Rahman appointments are held around four to six weeks apart so that Dr Rahman can adjust your braces and monitor your progress. Appointments can last between 10 – 30 minutes depending on the complexity of your treatment.
