Do I Need Braces?
Braces are generally used to align crooked or misaligned teeth and fix smiles. They can also be used to fix overbites and underbites by aligning the upper and lower jaws. Braces can also relieve pressure on the joints in the jawbone and skull.
Braces are most suitable for children and teenagers. Because the jawbones and bones around the teeth haven’t yet set in children, braces are better able to guide these bones into alignment.
Braces can still be helpful for adults, but they can only be used to align the teeth. An adult’s facial and jawbones are set in place and can only be altered with surgery.
Dr Daniel can work with you or your child to determine if braces are the right solution. In some cases, braces may not be necessary and an alternative alignment process, like the almost invisible Invisalign system or clear aligners, might be suitable.
How Do They Work?
Braces slowly and painlessly guide the teeth and jawbones into the desired position. Metal or porcelain brackets are glued to the teeth and threaded with an archwire. This wire is gradually tightened, creating pressure that aligns the teeth and facial bones over time.
Because braces are permanently fixed to the teeth, they cannot be removed by the patient and therefore place an even and consistent pressure on the teeth. This ensures the best results in the least possible time.
How Much do Braces Cost?
One of the most common questions we hear is how much do dental braces cost? The cost of braces will vary depending on the misalignment that needs to be fixed and the complexity and length of the treatment required.
However, at Epping High Dental, we strive to offer the most affordable dental services possible.
It’s important to remember that braces are a one-off investment in your long-term dental health.
