Why Choose Metal Braces?

Braces are not just for kids. Many adults and teenagers choose braces too. They are a great option for everyone. Here are some reasons why you should consider getting braces:

Straighten teeth

Braces help align your teeth, making them straight and even. This is a key part of the braces treatment.

Better Bite

If your teeth do not fit together right, braces can fix that. A better bite can help with chewing and speaking. For those with an overbite, braces can be especially effective.

Braces for Spacing Issues

If you have gaps between your teeth, braces can help close those gaps and create a more uniform smile.

Long-lasting Results

Once your orthodontic treatment is done, you can enjoy a beautiful smile for years.

Boosts Confidence

A straight smile can make you feel more confident.

Other Types of Braces

At BigSmiles we offer more than just metal braces. Here are some options you can choose from at our clinic in Surrey, BC:
01

Metal Braces

These are the most common type of dental braces. They use metal brackets and wires to straighten your teeth. They are strong and very effective.
02

Invisalign

This is a clear aligner system that is different from traditional braces. They are removable and almost invisible. If you want a more discreet option, this could be for you.
03

ClearCorrect

Like Invisalign, ClearCorrect uses clear aligners to move your teeth. They are easy to wear and take out.

What Happens During Your First Visit?

Your braces journey will begin with a consultation in our office. We'll check your mouth, teeth, and take dental x-rays and photos. This will help us understand what your teeth need. After looking at your teeth, we will discuss your options. If you decide to go with braces, we will create a treatment plan.

The Braces Process

Getting braces is an exciting step toward a new smile. Here’s what you can expect during the braces process:
Step 1

Fitting the Braces

We will clean your teeth. Then, we will attach the brackets to your teeth with a special glue. After that, we will place the wire through the brackets. Finally, we will use rubber bands to hold everything in place.
Step 2

Regular Adjustments

You will return for regular check-ups, every 4-6 weeks. During these dental visits, we will adjust the wires to help move your teeth. This is part of your braces maintenance. These braces adjustments are important for your progress. We will also provide you with a braces adjustment schedule to keep track of your visits.
Step 3

Wearing a Retainer

After your braces come off, you will need to wear a retainer. This keeps your teeth in place while they settle into their new positions. You can choose between permanent retainers and removable retainers. Retainers are essential for maintaining your new smile.

What to Expect After Getting Braces

Once you get your braces, you may feel some discomfort. This is normal as your teeth start to shift. You can take over-the-counter pain relief for any soreness. This braces discomfort usually goes away after a few days.
You might also need to change your eating habits. Certain foods, like hard candies or gum, can damage braces. Stick to softer foods and keep your smile healthy. Proper braces hygiene is important during this time. Make sure to clean your braces after every meal to avoid any issues.
