Modern braces
Do braces seem like they’d be hard to maintain or that they’d be uncomfortable? Braces have changed a lot over the last two decades and offer greater comfort. If you think you might need braces in Windsor, our clinic can help. Old Windsor Dental is a modern practice with competent and experienced dentists who provide braces in Windsor to suit your teeth.
Types of braces
Braces are a long-term solution to help with closing gaps between teeth or to straighten out crooked or overlapping teeth.
Braces come in a few different forms, which include:
- fixed, metal braces, which are made up of brackets and wires and are much more lightweight and easier to wear than they used to be
- removable braces, such as Invisalign, are almost invisible to others and provide a comfortable way of solving an issue with teeth
- there are lingual braces, which are made of metal, but fit on the inside of teeth and cannot be seen at all
- ceramic braces are also made up of brackets and wires, but are instead tooth-coloured so that they’re a lot more subtle and less visible.
Braces for children
We can also provide braces in Windsor for children. Braces can be offered between from ages 10 up to 14. It can be nerve-wracking for young patients to get braces and we take great care to fit braces they’re comfortable with.
Looking after your teeth
You may imagine cleaning your teeth can be harder with a brace, but this depends on your teeth and the brace you choose. If you prefer braces with greater flexibility, an aligner you can take out easily to clean your teeth or eat may be a better option. It’s important to floss every day, as fixed braces mean it’s harder to reach certain areas of your teeth.
Issues with your braces?
Braces can sometimes become loose or damaged, which can happen from a hard piece of food, from getting knocked during sports or from tooth movement. If your brace gets damaged or you feel pain, contact our clinic immediately.
