Braces
Braces are orthodontic devices designed to straighten misaligned teeth, correct bite issues, and enhance overall dental aesthetics. At Trucare Clinics, we offer a range of traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and invisible aligners to suit the diverse needs of our patients.
How It Works:
✔️ Metal Braces: Use stainless steel brackets and wires to move teeth into proper alignment gradually.
✔️ Ceramic Braces: Similar to metal braces but with tooth-colored brackets for a more aesthetic look.
✔️ Clear Aligners (Invisalign): Custom-made, removable trays that gently reposition teeth without wires.
Treatment Interval:
• Duration: 6 months to 2 years, depending on case complexity.
• Adjustment Visits: Every 4–6 weeks for braces; aligners are changed every 1–2 weeks.
Patient Expectations:
✔️ Gradual teeth alignment over time
✔️ Minimal discomfort after adjustments
✔️ Improved oral function and smile aesthetics
Potential Side Effects:
⚠️ Mild soreness or pressure after adjustments
⚠️ Temporary difficulty in eating certain foods
⚠️ Minor irritation of lips and cheeks from brackets
