How do braces work?
Braces use small brackets and a wire to move teeth gradually into a better position. They work for crowding, gaps, overlapping teeth and many bite problems, and they are still one of the most reliable ways to straighten teeth.
At your assessment we look at your teeth and bite, take records and talk through the choices, including clear aligners if they suit you. Some complex bite problems are best handled by an orthodontist, and if that applies to you we will say so.
Who it’s for
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Teeth that stick out
- A bite where teeth do not meet properly
- Teenagers whose adult teeth have come through crooked

FAQ
Braces questions, answered
How long do braces take?
Commonly between 12 and 24 months, depending on how much movement is needed.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Adults can have braces as long as teeth and gums are healthy.
Do braces hurt?
They feel tight and sore for a few days after fitting and after adjustments. Soft food and pain relief help.
Braces or clear aligners?
Both straighten teeth. Braces are fixed and handle a wider range of cases. Aligners are removable and almost invisible. We will advise which fits your situation.
What age should a child be checked for braces?
Around age seven is a good time for a first check, even if treatment starts later. See our children’s dentistry page.
