Teeth Straightening
Orthodontics is a specialised dental treatment that gently guides your teeth into their correct position – by straightening teeth and making them bite together correctly. Many types of braces can help you smile confidently, such as invisible Invisalign, traditional metal braces, white braces or even braces that go behind your teeth.
At Pearls Dental, it’s our mission to get you naturally smiling with confidence again. Our six-month braces treatments involve only your front top and lower teeth – and are carried out with metal or tooth-coloured brace fittings. Our braces are discreet, quick, and effective for straightening your front teeth. If your bite is incorrect and causing jaw pain or damaging your teeth, we can also talk you through other options.

What care is required with Six Month Braces?

Traditional metal braces are the most common of the four types of braces people use. They are made up of brackets and wires; together, they move your teeth into the correct position. Braces are made from surgical steel but can also be made from white ceramic material - so they blend in with your natural tooth colour.
How does it work?
Metal braces are the smallest fixed brace available but are less discreet than ceramic or clear aligners. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you can add coloured elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colourful smile.
Treatment usually starts once all the adult teeth have come through and lasts around 15-20 months. The braces are attached to the teeth using tooth-coloured resin glue. An orthodontic wire is fed through the bracket to connect them all up. The wire is under tension to push/ pull your teeth into the correct position.
The brace is easily removed at the end of treatment, but it's important to wear retainers afterwards to keep your teeth straight. You can wear a permanent retainer- a wire glued to the back of your teeth, or a night-time retainer made of stiff see-through plastic like a gum shield. Get ready for your beautiful new smile.
