About dental braces
What are teeth braces?
Braces are an orthodontic appliance used to gradually move teeth into a straighter, healthier alignment. Brackets attached to each tooth are connected by a wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure guiding teeth into their correct positions over 12 to 24 months.
Misaligned or crooked teeth can not only be aesthetically displeasing, but they can also lead to a variety of oral health problems, such as difficulty chewing, increased risk of tooth decay, and even jaw pain. Braces address these issues by realigning the teeth, creating a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Our orthodontist team at Arrow Dental Centre offers a range of affordable teeth braces options to help you achieve a healthier, more comfortable smile.

Who it’s for
Braces are suitable for ages 7 and up

Early orthodontic assessment from age 7 can identify problems before all permanent teeth come in. Some children might benefit from expanders or partial braces.
- Catches bite issues early
- Shorter overall treatment
- Partially covered by insurance
Ages 13–17
Teenagers
The ideal window for full orthodontic correction as all permanent teeth are usually in place by age 13, and jaw growth is still active.

- All braces types available
- School-life-friendly options
Ages 18+
Adults
Modern options (clear aligners, ceramic and lingual braces) make adult orthodontics discreet enough for professional life. Treatment may take slightly longer.
- Different braces options
- Flexible payment plans
- Suitable up to any age

Types of dental braces
When it comes to orthodontic treatment, there are different types of braces to choose from, each with its own pros and cons.
- Traditional Metal Braces: These are the most common type of braces, utilizing metal brackets and wires to move teeth. They are a reliable and cost-effective option, and advancements in technology have made them smaller and more comfortable than ever before.
- Ceramic Braces: These braces function similarly to metal braces but utilize tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a more discreet appearance. They are a popular choice for patients seeking a less noticeable orthodontic solution.
- Lingual Braces: These braces are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. They offer a high level of discretion but can be more expensive and may require a longer adjustment period.
- Invisalign: This innovative system utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into place. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults and teens seeking a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
