What Are Braces?
Braces are a tried-and-tested orthodontic treatment that gradually moves teeth into proper alignment using brackets, wires, and controlled pressure. At MED Rx Dental Centre, we use braces to correct crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, giving you a straighter smile and a healthier bite.
Types of Braces We Offer
- Metal braces: The most common and affordable option, using stainless steel brackets and wires.
- Ceramic braces: Tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your teeth for a less noticeable look.
- Clear aligners: Removable, virtually invisible trays for mild to moderate cases (see our dedicated clear aligners page for details).
Signs You May Need Braces
- Crowded, overlapping, or crooked teeth
- Noticeable gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Difficulty biting or chewing comfortably
- Jaw pain or clicking linked to bite misalignment
Your Braces Treatment Journey
- Consultation and X-rays: We assess your bite, jaw alignment, and take diagnostic images to plan your treatment.
- Treatment planning: We recommend the right type of braces and estimate your treatment timeline.
- Placement: Brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with an archwire.
- Regular adjustments: You’ll visit every 4-6 weeks so we can tighten wires and guide tooth movement.
- Retention: Once treatment is complete, a retainer keeps your teeth in their new position.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Your dentist will give you a personalized estimate after your initial evaluation.
Treated by an Experienced Dental Team

Braces FAQs
Do braces hurt?

Can adults get braces?
Yes. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment as long as your gums and jawbone are healthy.
Will I need to wear a retainer?
Yes, a retainer is essential after braces to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position.
How do I clean my teeth with braces on?
We’ll show you how to brush and floss around brackets and wires, and may recommend an interdental brush or water flosser to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
