Braces for Adults – It’s Never Too Late
Ever looked in the mirror and wished for a better smile? You’re not alone. Adults can benefit from braces just like teenagers. If you have healthy teeth and gums, braces can help fix crooked teeth, close gaps, and improve how your teeth fit together.
More adults are choosing braces these days, proving that a great smile boosts confidence and makes a difference in our social lives. Whether you’re 8 or 80, we’re here to help you get the smile you want.

Looking After Your Braces
To keep your braces and teeth in top shape, you’ll need a few essential tools: a toothbrush (consider a travel toothbrush for daytime use), interdental brushes, wax, and fluoride mouthwash. These are available for purchase at our reception.
Here’s how to ensure your treatment goes smoothly and your teeth stay healthy:
1. Maintain Clean Teeth and Gums
- Brush your teeth at least thrice daily, ideally after each meal. Use your regular toothbrush to clean the surfaces of your teeth, the brace, and along the gum line.
- Don’t forget to use an interdental brush behind the wire and between each bracket. Check out our ‘First Few Days’ video here for a brushing demo.
- Using disclosing tablets once or twice a week can help you check if your brushing is thorough.
2. Use Fluoride Mouthwash
- Rinse with fluoride mouthwash (0.05% fluoride or 225ppm) every night after brushing. Swish for one minute and spit out. This helps strengthen your teeth and prevents marks from forming.
3. Avoid Damaging Your Braces
- Steer clear of chewy and crunchy foods like gum, toffee, crusty bread, and pizza crusts. Use common sense—cut up hard foods such as apples and raw carrots.
- Don’t pick at your braces with your fingers or bite pens, as this can damage your braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does Treatment with Braces Take?
Treatment with braces usually lasts between 18 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the alignment issues. Your orthodontist will give you a more specific timeline based on your child’s needs.
Are Braces Painful?
Braces may cause discomfort, especially after being placed or adjusted. This is normal and usually goes away within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort.
Can I Eat Normally with Braces?
You can eat most foods with braces, but you’ll need to avoid sticky, or chewy items that can damage the braces or get stuck in them. Opt for softer foods and cut hard items into smaller pieces.
How Do I Care for My Braces?
To care for braces, brush your teeth thoroughly after every meal, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to clean between the braces and teeth.Â
