It’s natural to have questions when considering braces and how they work to straighten your teeth. There can be a lot of information out there, but our dental team is here to answer everything you need to know. Your dedicated Ivy Dental orthodontist will assess your individual situation and discuss the best options for you. While each case is unique, braces treatment typically involves the following stages:
Your journey to a straighter smile will always begin with an assessment by our experienced team, whether you’re a new or existing patient. Our specialist will carefully examine your teeth, explain what they see, and talk with you about what you want to achieve before deciding on and planning the best way forward for your treatment.
The journey to getting braces in Stockport at Ivy Dental starts with a thorough check of your teeth, which may include X-rays and digital pictures. After this, we’ll give you a detailed plan showing the different types of braces available, how long it might take, and the costs. We’ll take the time to answer all your questions so you feel comfortable with the plan. We might also take more pictures and moulds of your teeth to help us plan your treatment very carefully for the best results.
Once you’ve decided that braces are right for you, you’ll have an appointment to get them put on. Our friendly team will explain each step so you feel relaxed and know what’s happening. Whether you choose metal, clear, we’ll carefully attach them to your teeth.
Unlike treatments that need healing time, braces need regular check-ups. Every few weeks, you’ll come back so our specialist can make small changes to the wires. These changes gently move your teeth into the right places over time. We’ll keep a close eye on how you’re doing and make sure your treatment is going well.
As your teeth gradually move to where they should be, you’ll start to see a big difference in your smile. How long you wear braces depends on your individual needs, but we’ll keep you updated at each visit. Once your teeth are straight, we’ll talk about the next step, which is usually wearing retainers.
Keeping your teeth clean is really important while you have braces to make sure your teeth and gums stay healthy. We’ll give you clear instructions on the best way to brush and floss and what foods to be careful with. Regular check-ups and professional cleans are also important while you’re having treatment to keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking great long-term.
We aim to make our approach and our fees as accessible as possible. Therefore, we have options for one-off treatments for non-members or membership programmes that provide continuity of care and best-value treatments, as well as features such as access to a global dental accident and emergency scheme. In addition, you can spread the cost of membership with interest free payments over 12 months via our finance provider, Practi, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
They use a system of brackets and wires to apply gentle, consistent pressure to your teeth. This pressure gradually encourages your teeth to move into their correct positions over time.
The length of treatment varies depending on individual needs and the complexity of the case. On average, most people wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but it could be shorter or longer.
You might feel some discomfort when your braces are first put on, and after adjustments. This is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
We offer clear braces and clear aligners (such as Invisalign). Your specialist will discuss the best option for your individual needs.
We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your teeth during your treatment. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
