How long will I need to wear Metal Braces?
This varies from each person as the length of time you will need braces depends on several factors. The average length of time is anywhere from a year or two or more. When getting a consultation for braces you should consider several goals which will determine how long you will need braces. These goals can include the extent of the dental condition being treated, or how the orthodontist wants to treat you, and what the ultimate outcome should be. The younger you are, the faster you will see results with braces!
Steps for getting your Metal Braces
Step I
The first step to getting your metal braces is to schedule a consultation with us! Our orthodontic team will help you determine if metal braces are right for you. Because of the large array of different orthodontic treatments available, getting to know you and your orthodontic needs is essential. If you need other treatment such as tooth extractions prior to getting braces, your orthodontist may recommend this as well.
Step II
During your first visit at our office, you will need to have an accurate mold made of your teeth and their positions. In order to do this, your orthodontist will first take x-rays of your whole mouth and individual teeth. After the x-rays are taken, your orthodontist will use soft impression material to create the mold of your teeth
Step III
The most important step to take before having your braces on is to brush your teeth! After this, the initial procedure is painless. Your orthodontist will begin by applying an adhesive material onto your teeth to make an ideal and smooth surface for bonding. This material is placed on the back of the braces brackets, and the brackets are hardened under a light once they are in place. After this, the dental arch wires are put in place, and additional bands are added. This entire process can take around a few hours, but then you made it!
Step IV
After your braces are put on, you will come in for adjustments every month or two. Because the wires and bands can weaken over time, it is important to come in and get them adjusted. Your orthodontist will also be able to review the progress your teeth have made. During your adjustment appointments, you can switch the colours of your braces bands! With so many colours available, your options are limitless!
