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.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent care I received during my recent procedure for 6 crowns . From the preparation to the final application, I felt confident and well taken care of every step of the way.

The professionalism by Dr. Parisa, her skilled staff and attention to detail made the entire experience much easier than I had anticipated. I’m extremely pleased with the results—my new crowns not only look great but feel comfortable and natural.

Thank you for your expertise and for making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. I truly appreciate your dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome.

I look forward to continuing my dental care with you in the future.

Warm regards,
Roseann McGraw

I have been working at Fresh Dental Care for three months now and have loved it. The environment is very warm and inviting and patients always go out of the office with a smile on their face.
Patients are given a more personal experience compared to other places that I have visited. The staff is extremely friendly and I have enjoyed learning and working alongside them and can’t wait to continue doing so.

Really enjoy going here. Been a patient for a couple of years and the staff have always been great. Dr. Parisa is the first dentist I’ve had actually go over my treatment plan in detail. She had X-rays and detailed images so she could walk me through exactly what we needed to do to help me. The care isn’t something where I feel forced into anything. I can ask questions and the staff are great to answer those concerns

I've been visiting this clinic for over a year, and I'm really impressed with the doctor and the staff. They are very attentive and take the time to care for each patient. Dr. Parissa is very kind and generous, offering discounts to assist patients financially. The financial team also guides you through the payment process without any worries. I would highly recommend this clinic for your dental hygiene needs.

All the staff and assistants were so warm, friendly and competent. They explained everything in detail. The new(to me) financial consultant was especially helpful and clear. Also fun—but that’s not a criteria, just very much appreciated they offer a payment plan with generous discounts. Dr Parissa leads the team with those same qualities —competent, knowledgeable, experienced and clear, and especially kind. I actually look forward to going back!
