If you have gaps between your teeth, bite issues, or jutting/misaligned teeth, Woden Dental Centre has the perfect solution—dental braces!

How to Care For Your Smile After Using Braces
Treatment for dental braces takes time to achieve the desired results. Therefore, preserving these results for many years also requires the right maintenance. You should:
- Wear your retainers to keep your teeth alignment intact.
- Brush and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup.
- Get routine cleanings and dental examinations for long-term oral health.
- Stay away from hard-boiled, sticky and chewy foods.
- Consult your dentist if you notice any movement in your teeth.
- Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth hydrated and minimise the decay risk.
Know More About Living With Dental Braces
Will braces change my facial features?
Braces will align your teeth and subtly enhance your facial aesthetics by improving your jaw position. These small changes will eventually balance out your facial features, straighten your smile, and harmonise your facial features.
Is it okay to participate in sports wearing my dental braces?
While there is no restriction about participating in sports, it is essential to remember that with braces, there is an increased risk of collision with other players or the ball hitting your mouth and causing injuries. You should always wear a mouthguard to safeguard your braces and teeth to minimise this risk.
What is the approximate treatment for dental brace treatment?
The duration generally depends on:
- Patient compliance.
- The severity of your case.
- The number of visits to your dentist for adjustments.
If you undergo treatment for traditional braces, you can expect anywhere from 18- 24 months or even three years for the treatment to be completed. During your first appointment, your dentist will be able to estimate how long your treatment will take. They will also discuss the factors impacting the duration to keep you well-informed.
