Consult an orthodontist to evaluate your oral health and determine the best treatment plan for your needs.

Can adults get braces?

Yes. There is no upper age limit as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. Treatment may take a little longer than in teenagers.

At what age should a child see an orthodontist?

A first check is commonly advised around age 7, even if braces are needed only later.

Do some braces feel more comfortable than others?

Some soreness after fitting and after adjustments is common with every type. Dr. Shaili Shah Bodhwani (Orthodontist) can explain which type may suit you.

What should I avoid eating with braces?

Avoid hard, sticky and chewy foods such as nuts, toffee and biting into whole raw apples or carrots.

How often do I need to visit during braces treatment?

Usually every few weeks, as advised by your orthodontist.

Should I choose metal or ceramic braces?

Metal braces are the most economical. Ceramic braces are tooth-coloured and less visible. The choice depends on your budget, comfort and case.

Who braces are for

Braces can treat crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite, in teenagers and adults. An orthodontic assessment decides the best type for you.

How treatment works

  • Consultation, examination, X-rays and impressions or scans.
  • A treatment plan that explains the type of braces and the expected time.
  • Braces are fitted and adjusted at regular visits, normally once a month.
  • Braces are removed when the teeth are in the right position, and you receive a retainer.

How long does it take?

Treatment commonly takes 9 to 18 months, depending on the case.
