Frequently asked questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about fixed braces at The Oakwood Clinic.
How long will I need to wear fixed braces?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but typically, fixed braces are worn for 18 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a detailed treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Are fixed braces painful?
You may experience some discomfort after your braces are first fitted or after adjustments. This is normal as your teeth begin to shift, but the discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
Can I eat normally with fixed braces?
You’ll need to avoid certain foods, such as sticky, hard, or chewy items, as they can damage your braces. Your orthodontist will provide a list of foods to avoid and guidance on how to care for your braces while eating.
How do I take care of my fixed braces?
Good oral hygiene is essential when wearing fixed braces. You’ll need to brush your teeth more carefully, using special tools like interdental brushes, to clean around the brackets and wires. Regular visits to your orthodontist here in Oakwood for adjustments are also important to ensure your treatment progresses as planned.
