Why Choose Adult Braces?
Adult braces are a great way to give yourself the smile you've always wanted.
Typically adults will have restorations, fillings or some sort of gum recessions so it's often a longer process. Adults tend to be more concerned with the cosmetic outcome rather than the functional outcome of braces.

How long does the average treatment last?
The length of time of treatment depends on the complexity of the treatment, it is best to talk to your orthodontist to gauge the timeframe.
Do I need to wear a retainer?
In short, yes. If you have orthodontic treatment to move teeth, the teeth want to move back. A retainer is the best method of maintaining your straight teeth.
How long do adults wear braces?
Adults wanting to move front teeth and improve their smile are often suited to 6 month braces.
For more complex problems e.g. those requiring us to change the bite longer times are usually needed.
How long do braces last?
Once your braces are complete and removed you will be fitted with retainers (often both fixed and removable).
Then your teeth will remain in place indefinitely as long as you wear your retainers. As with everything in your body as you age changes happen.
The top jaw tends to expand and the bottom jaw tends to shorten causing minor teeth movements. The retainer will help to minimize these natural movements.
