Orthodontics deals with correcting the position of teeth and jaws in children and adults — there is no upper age limit for a fixed appliance. Fixed braces can be conventional, with metal brackets, or aesthetic, with white ceramic brackets. There are also self-ligating braces, which shorten the treatment time.

Plate-type removable braces are used with children to treat the position of teeth and jaws during growth and development. To help a child want to wear them, there is a range of colours and images to choose from for the plate.

Treatment most often begins as the first permanent teeth come through and can last until the permanent dentition is complete. The orthodontist decides on the method from the patient’s history and an analysis of the panoramic X-ray (orthopantomogram) and the cephalogram.

How treatment works

From the first call to the follow-up

Examination and analysis

A panoramic X-ray and a cephalogram, impressions and photographs. The appliance is chosen from those.

Plan and fitting

You get a plan with the timing and the price, and the appliance is fitted in a single visit.

Check-ups

Every 4–6 weeks we adjust the appliance and follow how the teeth are moving.

Removal and retainer

After removal a retainer is worn without exception, or the teeth drift back towards where they started.

Usually between one and two years. It depends on how far the teeth have to move, whether there is room in the jaw, and how regularly the check-ups are kept.

Aesthetic brackets are white ceramic and far less noticeable, but they are a little more fragile and cost more. Metal is tougher and works faster on complex movements. The end result is the same.

Fitting it does not hurt. For the first few days, and after each adjustment, the teeth are tender on biting; an ordinary painkiller handles it and it passes in two or three days.

When the first permanent teeth come through, around the age of seven. That does not mean treatment starts then — at that age we are looking at whether the jaws are developing as they should and whether a removable plate is needed.

Yes. Teeth keep the tendency to return to their old position for a long time after the appliance comes off. A retainer is a thin wire on the inner surface, or a clear tray worn at night.
