FAQs
Can my teeth change their position?
Teeth can move at any time, regardless of whether or not they have had braces. The good news is that following orthodontics at least 90-95% of the correction is retained. To further guard against this movement there is a retention phase that normally involves wearing removable or fixed retention appliances.
Why is orthodontic treatment important?
Firstly, crooked teeth and crowded teeth are hard to clean and maintain. This can cause not only tooth decay, but also gum disease and eventual tooth loss. Other problems can cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, inefficient chewing function, excessive stress on gum tissue and bone, or misalignment of the jaw joints, which can result in chronic headaches or related pains. Fortunately, treating the original problem now is often less costly than the additional dental care required.
What types of foods should I avoid?
Say goodbye to toffee apples. Generally, you should try to avoid biting into really tough meat, raw celery, hard crusts and raw carrots. You shouldn't chew lollies, toffees, jubes, nuts or ice.
How long will I need to wear my braces?
12 to 24 months is the usual time required to complete total treatment. Often though, treatment is completed well within this time frame. The final result is a beautiful, healthy smile that is yours for life.
How important is oral hygiene?
Orthodontic appliances will not cause tooth decay, poor oral hygiene will. Gum disease, tooth decay and permanent markings (decalcification) on the teeth can occur if you eat foods containing excessive sugar or if you don't brush and floss your teeth regularly. Six monthly visits to your dentist throughout the course of your treatment are also recommended.
