COMMON QUESTIONS

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?

No, orthodontic treatment doesn’t hurt when your appliance is being fitted. However, for the first couple of weeks afterwards it is normal to feel a bit of pressure. Taking a pain killer, like you would for a headache, will help to ease this discomfort.

How long are fixed braces on for?

On average, fixed braces usually stay on for 18-24 months.

How often do I need to come in for an adjustment?

We will need to see you every 6-8 weeks depending on what stage you are at in your treatment.

Will I need to have teeth out?

Having teeth extracted is a very normal part of orthodontic treatment, although at The Orthodontic Centre we will try to avoid removing teeth if we can help it.

Which braces get the best result?

Developments in orthodontic technology mean there is a variety of appliances available. However, not all of them may be suitable for your case. That is why we assess each patient’s case and make an individual recommendation on the type of brace we believe is the best one for your needs.

Am I too old for braces?

No, the great thing about orthodontic treatment is that it’s suitable for people of all ages. At The Orthodontic Centre (Reading) Ltd we are seeing an increasing number of adult patients coming in for treatment, and the results we can get for them are just as good as those we get for children and teens.

How should I brush my teeth while wearing braces?

Once your braces are fitted we will show you the best way to look after them and what special toothbrushes to use. If your cleaning technique isn’t great, we will advise you on how to improve it as we won’t fit braces for a patient if we don’t believe they can keep their teeth clean.

Do I need to wear retainers after my braces are removed?

Yes, every patient is fitted with a retainer to make sure their teeth do not move out of position. There are two types of retainers – fixed and removable. We’ll recommend the best type for you and also advise how long you’ll need to wear it for.
