Who is this surgery for?

- Teeth that are erupted out of position or impacted.
- Preparatory orthodontics for other dental procedures like implants or bridges.
How to prepare
- Initial comprehensive consultation with an orthodontist for examination and diagnosis.
- Dental X-rays (panoramic and cephalometric) and impressions or digital scans of the teeth.
- Discussion of treatment plan, brace type options (metal, ceramic, lingual), and duration.
- Professional dental cleaning to ensure teeth are plaque-free before bracket placement.
- Addressing any existing cavities or gum disease prior to starting treatment.
- Understanding the commitment to oral hygiene and regular adjustment appointments.
Risks & possible complications
- Initial discomfort, soreness, and possible mouth ulcers from brackets and wires.
- Increased risk of tooth decay and gum inflammation if oral hygiene is not meticulous.
- Root resorption (shortening of tooth roots) in rare cases.
- Allergic reactions to materials used (e.g., nickel in some metal braces).
- Temporary loosening of teeth during movement, which is normal.
- Potential for relapse if retainers are not worn as directed post-treatment.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial adjustment period of 3-7 days with soft diet and over-the-counter pain relief as needed.
- Meticulous oral hygiene is critical: brushing after every meal and using interdental brushes/floss threaders.
- Regular adjustment appointments every 4-8 weeks for wire tightening and progress checks.
- Avoiding hard, sticky, or chewy foods (popcorn, nuts, caramel) that can damage braces.
- Using orthodontic wax to cover any brackets causing irritation to cheeks or lips.
- Wearing a retainer full-time initially, then nightly, as prescribed after braces removal to maintain results.
