Also, you have a wide range of funky coloured brackets and elastics to spruce up the smile. • Is it painful? Yes, the initial couple of days after you get the braces fixed and tightened, you may experience a dull pain. But what’s a little pain if it leads to such a major gain? • How long does the treatment take? Each patient’s treatment plan varies and so does the duration. The treatment may take anywhere between 4 to 18 months, based on individual bites. You need to see your braces doctor once every 4 to 6 weeks during this time span. • Will I be able to eat everything? Your diet will need some modifications. You will need to stay clear of sticky foods. Hard foods like apples need not be eliminated; you simply need to chop in into smaller bits. • Any special care to take before the treatment? It is always advisable to get your teeth professionally cleaned before going for braces. Extractions, cavities, root canals should be taken care of as well. • Any special care to take during the treatment? Brushing and rinsing well is of prime importance. You will be prescribed special brushes to help you clean your teeth better. Also, patients who are into contact sports or athletics should get a mouth guard to protect their lips and cheeks from injury due to the braces. • Any special care to take after the treatment? Depending on your individual case, you may need to wear retainers for life. These retainers are not visible when you smile and are very comfortable.
