About Braces (Orthodontics)
Braces use brackets and wires to help move teeth. Orthodontic treatment considers alignment and the bite, so decisions involve more than the appearance of the front teeth.
Discuss the smile changes you want and your work or school routine. A consultation helps compare appliances, follow-up, and care after the braces are removed.
Comparing braces and aligners
Braces are fixed to teeth, while aligners such as Invisalign can be removed. The choice considers your condition, goals, and commitment, as well as appliance appearance.
Ask about available appliances, the recommendation, and any additional treatment. Confirm availability of a particular bracket type with your preferred clinic.
- Alignment and bite concerns you want to address.
- Cleaning the appliance and attending follow-up.
- Estimated time, cost coverage, and retainers after treatment.
An overview of treatment stages
These stages are a general overview. Your dentist determines the examinations, procedures and schedule for your condition.
Orthodontic assessment
Your dentist assesses alignment and bite. Additional investigations or records depend on your needs.
Choosing the approach
Compare braces and aligners, goals, estimated time, and any preliminary treatment.
Fitting and check-ups
Once the plan is agreed, the appliance is fitted and progress assessed at follow-up visits.
Removal and retainers
After active treatment, discuss retainers and further reviews to maintain tooth position.
Assessment and technology at Tawa
Tawa has CBCT, panoramic X-ray, and 3D scanner facilities to support assessment and planning. Your dentist chooses investigations for your needs; not every patient needs all of them.
Panoramic X-rays and records from a 3D scanner may be considered in orthodontic assessment. Your dentist determines the records needed to evaluate and plan your care.
What should you discuss at the consultation?
Mention previous orthodontics, tooth injuries, gum concerns, and health conditions. If you have previous records or a retainer, ask whether to bring them.
Ask for a clear explanation of the assessment. Fitting, extractions, or preliminary procedures are considered individually rather than automatically applied to everyone.
Check-ups, cleaning, and retainers
Check-ups are part of treatment, with a schedule set by your dentist. Ask for cleaning instructions and how to contact the clinic about appliance problems.
After braces are removed, retainers help maintain tooth position. Discuss retainer wear and reviews as part of the plan from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Can adults have braces?
Adults can consider orthodontic treatment. Your dentist assesses teeth, gums, and your individual needs.
Does everyone need teeth extracted?
Not automatically. Extractions depend on assessment and the orthodontic plan; ask about reasons and alternatives.
Could Invisalign be an alternative?
It may be considered when suitable. Visit the Invisalign page and discuss appliances, wear, and follow-up with your dentist.
How long will I wear braces?
Time varies and is estimated after assessment. Ask about your plan rather than using another patient’s duration as a prediction.
What if a bracket comes loose or a wire bothers me?
Contact the clinic for instructions and visit arrangements. Describe what happened and when; do not try to adjust the appliance yourself.
Do I need a retainer afterwards?
Yes. Discuss the type, wear instructions, and reviews so maintenance is included in your plan.
What should I confirm before starting?
Contact Pondok Indah or Menteng through the WhatsApp on this page and mention your preferred dentist and visit time. The team confirms availability; costs are discussed after assessment of your needs.
