What to expect during braces treatment?

Braces treatment typically takes around 1 to 3 years, depending on the severity of crowding, bite problems, tooth movement required, and how consistently you attend adjustment appointments.

What Initial Discomfort Can You Expect?
During the initial days of braces treatment, you may experience:

1. Mild soreness or tenderness in your teeth as they begin to move.
2. Pressure or tightness around the teeth
3. Gum or cheek irritation as your mouth gets used to the brackets and wires.

This discomfort is usually temporary and improves as your mouth adjusts to the braces.

What Changes Can You Expect?
First few months: Crowded or rotated teeth may start looking straighter as alignment begins.
6–12 months: More noticeable changes in tooth position, spacing, and alignment are usually visible.
Later stages: The focus shifts toward correcting your bite, closing remaining spaces, and fine-tuning the final position of your teeth.
End of treatment: Braces are removed once the planned alignment and bite correction are achieved.

The exact pace of visible changes varies from person to person. And don't forget your retainers! 🦷 After braces are removed, retainers help hold your teeth in their new positions and reduce the risk of them shifting back.

At Smile Journey, we carefully monitor your progress throughout your braces treatment and guide you through each stage towards a healthier, better-aligned smile.
