Maxcare Otahuhu Dental offer 2 orthodontic procedures. Traditional Braces and Clear Braces
Traditional Metal Braces have been used to treat millions of patients around the world, and for good reason – They work!
Today’s conventional metal braces are much more streamlined and visually appealing. Comprising of thinner and smaller materials, they can fix over and under bites as well as more complex dental issues like severe crowding. As the teeth are being gradually straightened, your bone structure will change with it. This leads to a better, fuller bite.
How do traditional dental braces work?
The idea behind any form of dental braces is to bring teeth into a more desirable alignment over time. Dental braces apply a steady gentle pressure to help your teeth move so they align more correctly with each other.
They are comprised of three primary components:
- Brackets are small attachments that are bonded to the front of your teeth. They are joined with a non-damaging, secure dental adhesive.
- Arch-wires are attached to the brackets and will help guide your teeth into their correct positions. These wires are usually made from titanium alloy or stainless steel.
- Rubber bands or o-rings are colourful rubber bands used to hold the arch-wire into the brackets.

Frequently asked Questions about Orthodontics.
Are there any alternatives to braces?
Unfortunately, nothing comes close to the effectiveness of braces. Although there are some alternatives to the traditional metal braces. For example, you can get clear or tooth-colored braces, which make them much less noticeable. There are also other types of removable appliances that can help align teeth. For some adults, Veneers might be a more suitable option.
Do braces hurt?
No, they should never cause pain. When you first them put on, your teeth can feel a little sensitive, but this mild discomfort goes away in a couple days.
What is the best age to get braces?
There is no “best” age to get braces. They are still effective in older teenagers and adults. For most children, the best time is between the ages 10 and 14, when the mouth is still growing, and the permanent teeth are erupting. The exact time depends on growth and on how quickly a child’s adult teeth come in.
Am I too old for braces?
Of course not! A good percentage of our patients are over the age of 21. Not only can braces align your bite and boost your confidence, straightening your teeth can greatly improve your oral health.
How long do I need to wear braces?
Your total time will depend on your specific orthodontic problem, how severe it is and which type you opt for. In general, patients are in braces for 12 to 30 months.
Other than making teeth look good, are braces necessary?
Some people may get braces for cosmetic reasons but there are also a number of health benefits to straighten your teeth. Straight teeth are easier to clean well, which reduces tooth decay and gingivitis. Correcting the bite also fixes many structural problems, which can reduce jaw pain and make chewing less painful.
How often should I brush my teeth while wearing braces?
We recommend brushing your teeth at least three times a day (after breakfast, lunch and dinner).
Can ACC help cover the cost of braces?
Yes, if your need has arisen due to accidentally injury. Otherwise ACC will not cover the cost.
