Everything you need to know about braces and orthodontic treatment!

Are you interested in perfecting your teeth with clear braces? 

There are now different braces available for patients to make the best decision suited for their orthodontic treatment. At MILLWAY DENTAL, we provide patients with many orthodontic options, not just clear braces! We include traditional metal braces with updated braces color options, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. 

                              

What are the factors that affect orthodontic treatment?

Most patients’ concerns about their orthodontic treatment will relate to the length of time their treatment will take. The length of your orthodontic treatment comes down to three main factors: 

- Ensuring the best oral hygiene practices at all times. 

 As the health of your teeth depends on your oral hygiene practices, the same goes for your braces and orthodontic treatment. The more diligent a patient is with their daily brushing and flossing routine, the fewer delays they are likely to have throughout their orthodontic treatment. 

- How well a patient adheres to their dentist’s instructions.

 Your dentist aims to ensure the best outcome from your orthodontic treatment; patients should always listen and adhere to their instructions. If your dentist has specific instructions, such as avoiding particular foods during stages of your treatment, following these instructions will mean less treatment time in the long run. 

 - Avoid damage to your braces at all times.

 Any damage to your orthodontics can cause major setbacks in your overall treatment. To avoid damage throughout your treatment, most dentists will advise avoiding crunchy or chewy foods where possible or wearing a mouthguard during contact sports.

At MILLWAY DENTAL, we aim to provide the best options for our patients. We promise our patients will have the smile of their dreams in no time at all, so call today!
