Overview
Braces use small brackets and a gentle wire to guide crowded, gapped or misaligned teeth into place over time. They suit teenagers as well as adults, correcting bite problems that affect chewing, cleaning and smile symmetry.

Common questions
What is the right age for braces?
Ages 10–14 respond fastest while jaws are still growing, but adults see excellent results too, especially for mild to moderate corrections.
How long will I wear braces?
Most treatments run 1–3 years depending on severity and how well review visits are kept. Your plan states the estimate up front.
Does getting braces hurt?
Placing braces is painless. Expect mild tightness for a few days after each activation — it settles quickly.
What affects the cost?
Depends on brace type (metal, ceramic, self-ligating), case complexity and treatment length. Written estimate before we begin, with EMI options.
