Braces for adults.

The price of your braces will vary depending on which treatment you have and the duration. Our orthodontic treatment costs give a starting point, and your treatment coordinator will explain all costs with you during your initial assessment, including details of our payment plans.

It is likely that you may feel some slight discomfort for a few days each time your braces are adjusted - this is a good sign that the treatment is working! This should ease quite quickly and can be relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.

One of the benefits of fixed braces is that they cannot be removed until the end of your treatment. This ensures compliance at all times and means we are able to provide accurate timescales for treatment.

Yes, you should be able to eat normally. However, for your orthodontic treatment to work well and in the shortest possible time it is important you take care of your teeth and brace. We recommend avoiding foods like chewing gum and boiled sweets, as well as fizzy drinks and excessive amounts of fruit juice. 

Brushing may take a little longer when you have a fixed brace, as plaque can easily build up on the teeth around the brackets if they are not carefully cleaned after every meal. Brush your teeth thoroughly three times a day, paying particular attention to where your gums meet your teeth.

Yes, it is important that you still have checkups with your regular dentist throughout your orthodontic treatment so that your teeth can be checked for decay, and kept free of plaque between visits.

Call us for an appointment as soon as possible. Don’t wait for your next routine appointment, as the breakage may slow your treatment, or may result in damage to your teeth.
