Braces 101 – Everything You Need to Know Before Starting

Why Get Braces?

Braces aren’t just for looks—they help align teeth, improve bite, and even reduce jaw pain. Whether you’re a teen dreaming of the perfect selfie or an adult fixing long-term issues, braces can work wonders for your oral health and confidence!

What Do Braces Actually Do?

Braces gently apply pressure over time to shift your teeth into the right position. Think of it as a gym for your smile—but way less sweaty. 💪

Types of Braces:

  • Metal BracesClassic, strong, and budget-friendly.

  • Ceramic BracesTooth-colored for subtlety.

  • Self-Ligating BracesFewer adjustments, less time in the chair.

  • Clear Aligners (Invisalign-type)Virtually invisible and removable.

How Long Do I Have to Wear Them?

Most treatments last between 3–24 months, depending on your dental needs. But hey, that’s a small trade for a lifetime of confident smiles!

Can I Still Eat My Favourites?

Mostly, yes! Just avoid super sticky, hard, or chewy foods. Sorry popcorn… it’s not you, it’s your wires. 😅

How Do I Take Care of Them?

  • Brush 2–3 times a day.

  • Floss daily (yes, even with braces).

  • Regular ortho checkups at Smile & Glo every 4–6 weeks.

When Should I Start?

Anytime is a good time! Kids, teens, and even adults benefit from braces. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time—your smile is ready when you are.
