What Are Braces?

Braces are one of the most trusted and widely used orthodontic treatments, with a long history of successfully addressing complex dental alignment issues. Over the years, braces have evolved significantly. While traditional metal braces remain popular, modern advancements now offer discreet options like ceramic braces, which are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

How Braces Can Transform Your Smile

Time-Tested Success: Braces have reliably straightened teeth for over two centuries.
Tackling Complex Cases: They effectively address even the most challenging alignment and bite concerns.
Improved Balance: Braces enhance the symmetry of your smile and overall facial aesthetics.

The Science Behind Braces

Braces use a combination of small brackets, wires, and elastics to gently and gradually move your teeth into the ideal position. The brackets are carefully attached to each tooth and connected with a wire that applies consistent pressure to align your teeth and jaw over time. This process is precise and effective, ensuring a beautifully straight smile.

Regular visits to our experienced team at NUYU Dental in Cheltenham are essential throughout your treatment. These appointments, usually every 2 to 4 weeks, allow us to make necessary adjustments and keep your progress on track.

Secrets to Success with Your Braces

Adhere to the dietary advice provided by our orthodontic team. Certain foods should be avoided as they can damage your braces.
Cut your meals into small, manageable pieces to minimise the risk of harming your braces.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day. Take your time to clean around the brackets and wires with care.
Consider using disclosing tablets to identify areas where plaque may be building up, ensuring a more effective brushing routine.
If you experience discomfort after an adjustment, over-the-counter pain relief can help ease any sensitivity.
If your child’s braces become damaged, contact us immediately to arrange a repair.

Foods to Refrain from While Having Fixed Braces

Certain foods can damage your braces or get stuck in the brackets and wires, causing discomfort or delays in your treatment. Here’s what to steer clear of:

Nuts, seeds, and popcorn
Corn on the cob
Raw fruits and vegetables
Hard sweets and candies
Sticky treats like caramel, toffee, or chewy sweets
Tough cuts of meat
Sugary snacks and desserts, as they can harm your teeth even without braces

Could Fixed Braces Be the Perfect Solution for You?

Fixed braces are often recommended for both teenagers and adults dealing with moderate to severe tooth misalignment or bite issues. They’re also ideal for children or teens who may find it difficult to commit to wearing clear aligners for 22 hours per day.
