Orthodontics FAQs

How long does it take for teeth to settle with braces?

Although fitting braces shouldn’t be a painful process, it is normal for them to be uncomfortable and to cause mild pain during the first 1-2 weeks. This is because your teeth need to get used to the new pressure that’s being put on them in order to shift them to their new position. You can manage any discomfort with painkillers and should find that your symptoms ease and your teeth begin to settle after a week or two.

What are the don’ts with braces?

Braces are relatively straightforward, but there are some things you should avoid doing to prevent damage being caused to the braces, which include:

Avoiding certain foods that are very hard, chewy or sticky
Not chewing on foreign objects such as pens and fingernails
Drink a lot of very sugary drinks

Your orthodontist in Warrington will be able to advise you during your consultation on the best ways to maintain your braces.

What preparation is required for braces?

The process of getting braces fitted is usually fairly simple and doesn’t always require much in the way of preparation. However, sometimes teeth will need to be extracted in order for braces to be fitted, or you may require other treatments first if your oral health isn’t at its best. It is worth noting, however, that we will always try to avoid removing teeth if we can, and this will usually only be done if there’s severe overcrowding.

How long does it take for braces to work?

There is no universal set time for orthodontics in Warrington, and the amount of time your braces will take to work will largely depend on the severity of your condition. For example, if you have a very misaligned or wonky smile, your treatment is likely to take much longer than someone with relatively aligned teeth that just require some small shifts.

Your orthodontist will be able to give you a clearer idea of exactly how long your braces treatment is likely to take during your initial consultation.
