What Are Braces & Clip Treatments?

Braces (also known as clips) are orthodontic appliances that apply gentle pressure to your teeth, guiding them into proper alignment over time. They can correct:

Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Jaw misalignment
Speech or chewing issues caused by poor bite

Modern braces have come a long way — they’re smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before.

Types of Braces We Offer

1. Metal Braces (Traditional)

Durable and effective, these are the classic stainless-steel braces with elastic bands. Today’s versions are lighter and more stylish.

2. Ceramic Braces (Tooth-Colored)

Designed to blend with your natural teeth, ceramic braces are popular among adults and teens who want a less noticeable option.

3. Self-Ligating Braces

These modern braces don’t require rubber bands. They reduce friction, make adjustments easier, and often shorten treatment time.

4. Clear Aligners / Invisalign

A series of transparent, removable trays that gradually move your teeth without the wires and brackets. Great for adults and image-conscious teens..

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

Orthodontic treatment typically lasts between 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case and the type of braces used. Some minor corrections can be completed in less than a year.

What is the Procedure to Get Braces?

Getting braces is a step-by-step process designed to ensure the best results for your smile. At Tooth Junction, we guide you through each stage with care, clarity, and comfort. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation & Smile Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough examination of your teeth, bite, and jaw. We take digital X-rays, photos, and impressions (or 3D scans) to understand the current position of your teeth and discuss your smile goals.

2. Customized Treatment Planning
Based on your oral condition and lifestyle, our orthodontist will create a personalized treatment plan. You’ll also choose the type of braces that suit you best — metal, ceramic, self-ligating, lingual, or clear aligners.

3. Teeth Cleaning or Preparatory Procedures (If Needed)
If necessary, we may recommend a professional cleaning, fillings, or extractions to prepare your mouth before placing the braces.

4. Braces Placement (Bonding Day)
The big day! We gently bond the brackets to your teeth using a dental adhesive and place the archwire, which will guide your teeth into their new positions. This process is painless and usually takes about 45–60 minutes.

5. Instructions & Care Guidance
We’ll show you how to brush, floss, and eat with braces, and provide a list of foods to avoid. You’ll also receive tips on managing mild discomfort during the first few days.

6. Regular Adjustments & Progress Monitoring
You’ll visit us every 4–6 weeks for routine check-ups and adjustments. These appointments ensure that your teeth are shifting correctly and comfortably.

7. Braces Removal & Retainers
Once your smile is perfectly aligned, we’ll remove the braces and provide a custom retainer to keep your teeth in place. Wearing your retainer as advised is crucial for long-term results.

Aftercare Tips for Braces

✅ Brush after every meal
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around brackets and wires.

✅ Floss daily with special tools
Use floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean between teeth.

✅ Avoid sticky and hard foods
Say no to chewing gum, popcorn, hard candy, and ice — they can bend wires or loosen brackets.

✅ Use orthodontic wax
Apply wax on any bracket or wire causing irritation until the next appointment.

✅ Wear rubber bands or appliances as instructed
These help correct bite issues and must be worn exactly as your dentist prescribes.

✅ Attend regular appointments
Skipping visits can delay progress and extend treatment time.

If a wire comes loose or a bracket detaches, don’t wait — contact us to fix it.

FAQs

At what age should I consider getting braces?

Braces can be started at any age when most permanent teeth have erupted. However, adults can get braces too — there's no age limit for a healthy smile!

Are braces painful?

You might feel mild discomfort or tightness for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, but it's temporary and manageable.

How long will I need to wear braces?

The average treatment time is 12 to 24 months, depending on the severity of misalignment and the type of braces chosen.

Will I be able to eat normally after getting braces?

You’ll need to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like nuts, popcorn, chewing gum, and candies. Soft foods are easier right after getting braces, and you'll adjust quickly with time.

How often will I need to visit the clinic for adjustments?

Usually once every 4–6 weeks, but it may vary depending on your treatment plan.

Can I brush and floss like normal with braces on?

You can, but you'll need to be extra careful. A soft-bristle toothbrush, orthodontic brush, and floss threaders help clean around brackets and wires effectively.

What should I do if a wire or bracket comes loose?

Don’t panic. Cover the sharp edge with orthodontic wax (available at most pharmacies), and book an appointment at Tooth Junction to fix it as soon as possible.

Can I continue playing sports or musical instruments?

Yes, but wear a mouthguard during sports to protect your mouth. For wind instruments, it may take a few days to adjust.

Are there installment or EMI options for braces treatment?

Yes, at Tooth Junction we offer flexible payment plans and EMI options to make your treatment affordable and stress-free.
