Are attached to your teeth throughout your treatment. They can be metal, or hidden behind your teeth.
Braces can bring life changing benefits:
Your Culcheth dentist will start with an initial consultation taking x-rays, photos and impressions of your teeth. From here you will receive a tailored treatment plan explaining your treatment options and costs.
Every 6 - 8 weeks subsequent visits are required, allowing adjustments to be made, getting you one step closer to your dream smile. After this stage is completed you will then have the choice of having removable or bonded retainers to maintain your new smile.
The time is takes for your braces to work their magic is dependent on the severity of your case. This means that cost will also vary from patient to patient as some people will need braces on for longer.
To avoid any damage to your teeth or braces, you'll need to steer clear of the following during your treatment:
Will I be able to play contact sports?
Absolutely, but you'll need to wear a mouth guard. We can custom-make you a mouthguard to wear over your braces. To find out more speak to one of the Hob Hey Dental & Implant Clinic dentists.
Will I be able to play a musical instrument?
Fixed braces can make it trickier to play wind or brass instruments. Most patients quickly adapt, but you should discuss this with your orthodontists. They might recommend a removable brace, which can be taken out for performances.
