Do You Need Braces?

Conventional braces may be recommended if you have:

• Crooked or overcrowded teeth: Misaligned or overlapping teeth.
• Gaps between teeth: Spaces caused by missing or underdeveloped teeth.
• Bite issues: Such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite.
• Jaw alignment concerns: Problems with how your upper and lower teeth meet.

👉 At Yes Dental, our experienced team will evaluate your needs and create a personalised orthodontic plan.

Living with Braces

Dietary Considerations

• Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods (nuts, toffees, popcorn).
• Cut fruits and vegetables into small pieces and chew carefully.

Oral Hygiene

• Brush after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
• Use interdental brushes or a water flosser for cleaning around wires.
• Schedule regular dental cleanings at Yes Dental Clinic.

Managing Discomfort

• Mild soreness after fittings or adjustments is normal.
• Use orthodontic wax and over-the-counter pain relief as needed.

Potential Challenges and Solutions

• Appearance: Metal braces are visible, but modern designs are smaller and less noticeable.
• Maintenance: Proper care and consistent follow-ups are required.
• Initial discomfort: Usually fades within days; your dentist can provide tips.

Frequently Asked Questions About Conventional Braces

Are braces just for children and teenagers?

No—adults can also benefit from braces. Age is not a barrier to achieving a straighter smile.

Can I still play sports or musical instruments?

Yes. A mouthguard may be needed for contact sports, and minor adjustments may be required for wind instruments.

How soon will I notice changes?

Many patients see visible improvements within a few months, though full treatment takes longer.
