Metal braces are one of the best methods for teeth straightening and are a very common treatment among adults and children.Getting braces is an exciting process but it doesn’t come without its questions and concerns from patients. So we’ve listed 3 things you should know before starting your brace treatment.
Once you have had your braces removed you will need to have a retainer fitted to prevent your teeth from moving out of their new perfectly straight position. We've seen many patients come to us after their brace treatment as their teeth have relapsed, meaning their teeth have moved back into their original position. As your teeth are constantly moving we recommend you have a retainer fitted immediately after braces.
Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign is a removable appliance and doesn’t have to be kept in your mouth all the time, although we recommend at least 22 hours wear daily. This creates a common question that we get asked a lot, do I need to wear Invisalign at night?
