What is Orthodontic Treatment (Braces)? ๐ฆท
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to correct misaligned teeth, bites, and jaw positions, ensuring that both the function and appearance of the teeth are optimized. The most common orthodontic treatment is braces, which gradually move teeth into the desired position by applying gentle, consistent pressure over time.
Braces are ideal for individuals with:
- Crooked Teeth or misaligned teeth
- Overbite (upper teeth overlap lower teeth)
- Underbite (lower teeth overlap upper teeth)
- Crossbite (teeth misalignment from side to side)
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
Why Choose Braces? ๐ฆท
Orthodontic treatment can significantly improve both the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth. The main benefits include:
- Improved Aesthetic Appearance: A straighter smile can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence.
- Better Oral Health: Correcting dental issues such as overcrowding or improper bite can reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth wear caused by misaligned teeth.
- Improved Functionality: With proper alignment, you can chew more efficiently and avoid issues related to jaw pain, clicking, or tooth grinding.
Types of Braces ๐ฆท
At MediKaya Healthcare, we offer a variety of braces options to suit every patientโs needs, preferences, and budget:
- Traditional Metal Braces ๐
- Description: The most common and cost-effective option, metal braces are made of stainless steel brackets and wires. These braces are highly effective for treating most types of misalignments and are often the best choice for children, teens, and adults alike.
- Advantages: Strong, durable, and effective in treating complex dental issues.
- Disadvantages: More visible than other types of braces.
- Ceramic Braces ๐
- Description: Ceramic braces are made from a clear or tooth-colored material, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
- Advantages: Discreet, comfortable, and effective for those concerned about the appearance of their braces.
- Disadvantages: May be more fragile than metal braces and slightly more expensive.
- Invisalign (Clear Aligners) ๐
- Description: Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that gradually move teeth into place. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.
- Advantages: Virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable for eating and cleaning.
- Disadvantages: Not suitable for severe cases and requires patient compliance for consistent use.
- Lingual Braces ๐
- Description: Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. These are ideal for individuals who need orthodontic treatment but want their braces to remain discreet.
- Advantages: Completely invisible from the outside.
- Disadvantages: May cause more discomfort initially, and they are generally more expensive than other types of braces.
How Does Braces Treatment Work? โณ
- Initial Consultation & Treatment Planning:
The process begins with an initial consultation, where our expert orthodontists will evaluate your dental health. This includes X-rays, impressions, and digital scans to create a customized treatment plan based on your needs. Your orthodontist will discuss the best type of braces for your case, the expected treatment duration, and the costs involved.
- Braces Placement:
Once your treatment plan is finalized, braces are placed on your teeth. The brackets (small squares) are bonded to the front of your teeth, and a thin wire (archwire) is threaded through the brackets. The wire is held in place with small rubber bands, which are adjusted periodically.
- Regular Adjustments:
Every 4 to 6 weeks, you will visit our clinic for a check-up and adjustment. During these appointments, your orthodontist will tighten or replace the archwire, gradually shifting your teeth into their desired position.
- Final Stage โ Retainers:
Once your braces treatment is complete, a retainer will be fitted to help your teeth stay in their new positions. Retainers are often worn for a period after braces removal to ensure that the teeth do not shift back.
Treatment Duration โณ
The typical duration of orthodontic treatment with braces can vary depending on the severity of your condition, but the average time is between 12 to 24 months. Some patients may require additional time if they have complex alignment issues.
- Mild to Moderate Cases: 12-18 months
- Severe Cases: 18-24 months
Post-Treatment Care & Retainers ๐ฆท
After braces are removed, patients are required to wear retainers to ensure that the teeth stay in their new positions. The retainer is typically worn full-time for the first few months, and then at night thereafter. Follow-up visits with your orthodontist are necessary to monitor the stability of your results.

Symptoms
Symptoms That Indicate You Might Need Orthodontic Treatment (Braces) ๐ฆท
Orthodontic treatment, especially braces, can help address a variety of dental issues. If youโre noticing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to consult an orthodontist for an evaluation. At MediKaya Healthcare, we help patients identify signs and provide world-class solutions for straighter, healthier teeth.
- Crooked or Misaligned Teeth ๐ฌ
- What it Looks Like: Teeth that are not straight, whether they overlap, twist, or are spaced unevenly.
- Why It Happens: Crooked teeth can occur due to genetics, early loss of baby teeth, or jaw misalignment.
- Impact: This can affect your appearance, cause difficulty cleaning between teeth, and even lead to tooth decay or gum disease if not addressed.
- Overbite ๐ฒ
- What it Looks Like: The upper teeth overlap the lower teeth significantly when you close your mouth.
- Why It Happens: This can result from the excessive growth of the upper jaw or insufficient growth of the lower jaw.
- Impact: Overbites can cause teeth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty biting or chewing.
- Underbite ๐
- What it Looks Like: The lower teeth extend past the upper teeth when you close your mouth.
- Why It Happens: Underbites can occur if the lower jaw is too far forward or the upper jaw is underdeveloped.
- Impact: This can lead to difficulty chewing, speaking, and jaw strain.
- Crossbite ๐ฃ
- What it Looks Like: One or more of the upper teeth bite on the inside of the lower teeth.
- Why It Happens: Crossbites may occur due to jaw misalignment, or teeth erupting in the wrong position.
- Impact: It can cause gum recession, bone loss, and tooth wear, as well as misaligned jaw growth.
- Open Bite ๐ฌ
- What it Looks Like: There is a noticeable gap between the upper and lower teeth when you close your mouth.
- Why It Happens: This can be caused by prolonged thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or jaw misalignment.
- Impact: An open bite makes it difficult to bite food properly and can also lead to speech issues.
- Gaps Between Teeth ๐ฆท
- What it Looks Like: Noticeable spaces between your teeth, particularly if they are large.
- Why It Happens: Gaps may be caused by missing teeth, undersized teeth, or discrepancies between the size of the teeth and the jaw.
- Impact: Gaps can affect your smile and your bite, leading to functional issues.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) ๐ฉ
- What it Looks Like: You frequently grind your teeth, particularly at night.
- Why It Happens: Misaligned teeth can make it harder for your teeth to come together properly, leading to grinding.
- Impact: Grinding can cause tooth wear, headaches, jaw pain, and discomfort.
- Jaw Pain or Clicking ๐ค
- What it Looks Like: You experience pain or hear clicking sounds when moving your jaw.
- Why It Happens: Misalignment of the teeth or jaw can place extra stress on the jaw joints, causing pain or clicking.
- Impact: Jaw pain and clicking can be a sign of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, which may require orthodontic treatment to correct.
- Difficulty Chewing or Biting ๐ฝ๏ธ
- What it Looks Like: Difficulty biting into food or chewing efficiently, especially if certain teeth donโt meet properly.
- Why It Happens: Misalignment or an improper bite may make it challenging to chew food properly.
- Impact: Difficulty chewing can lead to digestive problems or discomfort when eating.
- Speech Issues ๐ฃ๏ธ
- What it Looks Like: Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds or words due to misaligned teeth or jaw.
- Why It Happens: Misaligned teeth can alter the way the tongue moves, leading to speech difficulties.
- Impact: This can affect your ability to speak clearly, which can cause self-consciousness or communication challenges.
Other Symptoms to Watch For:
- Teeth Wear or Chipping: Teeth that wear down more quickly than normal could indicate a misaligned bite.
- Frequent Cavities or Gum Disease: Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, increasing the likelihood of plaque buildup, leading to cavities or gum problems.
- Facial Asymmetry: A visibly asymmetrical face may result from an issue with jaw alignment.

Risk Factors
Risk Factors for Orthodontic Treatment (Braces) โ ๏ธ๐ฆท
Orthodontic treatment, such as braces, is a widely recognized and effective method for correcting dental and jaw alignment issues. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks involved. Understanding these risks before starting your treatment can help you make an informed decision. At MediKaya Healthcare, we ensure that our patients are fully aware of any potential complications and take steps to minimize risks.
Here are some common risk factors associated with orthodontic treatment:
- Tooth Decay and Gum Disease ๐ฆท
- What It Is: Braces make it harder to clean teeth effectively, which can lead to the buildup of plaque and bacteria. This can result in cavities, gum inflammation, and even periodontal disease.
- Why It Happens: Food particles get trapped around the braces, and if not cleaned properly, they contribute to plaque formation.
- How to Prevent It: Regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are essential. Our orthodontists at MediKaya Healthcare will guide you on how to care for your teeth during treatment to prevent these issues.
- Root Resorption ๐ฆท
- What It Is: Root resorption refers to the shortening or weakening of the tooth roots, which can sometimes occur during orthodontic treatment, especially with prolonged wear of braces.
- Why It Happens: The pressure applied to the teeth during alignment may cause the roots to dissolve or recede.
- How to Prevent It: Monitoring and regular check-ups are crucial. We ensure that the treatment plan is tailored to avoid excessive force on the teeth.
- Relapse or Recurrent Misalignment ๐
- What It Is: After completing orthodontic treatment, there is a possibility that teeth may shift back to their original position, especially if retainers are not worn as instructed.
- Why It Happens: Without the support of a retainer, teeth may not remain in their corrected positions, causing the alignment to revert.
- How to Prevent It: Wearing retainers as prescribed after braces treatment is essential for maintaining the new alignment.
- Pain and Discomfort ๐ฃ
- What It Is: It is normal to experience some discomfort during the first few days after braces are applied or after adjustments.
- Why It Happens: The pressure exerted by braces on the teeth causes temporary pain or tenderness.
- How to Prevent It: Pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Additionally, our specialists will guide you on how to manage discomfort.
- Speech Difficulties ๐ฃ๏ธ
- What It Is: Some patients experience difficulty with speech or pronunciation, particularly if they have just started wearing braces.
- Why It Happens: The placement of braces or appliances on the teeth can temporarily affect the tongue’s movement, making it harder to pronounce certain words.
- How to Prevent It: This issue typically resolves itself after a few weeks once the patient gets used to the braces.
- Soft Tissue Irritation ๐ค
- What It Is: Braces may cause irritation or sores in the mouth, particularly on the lips, cheeks, and gums.
- Why It Happens: The brackets and wires may rub against the soft tissues inside the mouth, leading to irritation.
- How to Prevent It: Wax provided by your orthodontist can be applied to the braces to prevent this irritation. If irritation persists, consult with your orthodontist.
- Allergic Reactions ๐คง
- What It Is: Some patients may experience allergic reactions to materials used in the braces, such as latex, rubber bands, or metal alloys.
- Why It Happens: Sensitivity to these materials may result in allergic reactions such as swelling, redness, or rashes.
- How to Prevent It: Before treatment, let your orthodontist know if you have any known allergies. Alternative materials can often be used to minimize allergic reactions.
- Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Issues ๐
- What It Is: Some patients may experience jaw pain, headaches, or clicking sounds in the jaw, particularly after orthodontic adjustments.
- Why It Happens: The realignment of teeth and jaw pressure can affect the TMJ (the joint connecting your jaw to the skull).
- How to Prevent It: If you experience these symptoms, inform your orthodontist, as adjustments can be made to alleviate discomfort.
- Bone Loss ๐ฆด
- What It Is: Though rare, some patients may experience bone loss in the jaw due to excessive force from braces.
- Why It Happens: Inadequate bone support or excessive force applied during treatment may affect the surrounding bone structure.
- How to Prevent It: A customized treatment plan and careful monitoring throughout the treatment help avoid this risk.
- Unwanted Tooth Movement ๐ฆท
- What It Is: In some cases, teeth may not move as expected, or the movement could be in the wrong direction, requiring additional corrections.
- Why It Happens: Teeth may not respond to treatment due to the individual variation in jaw structure, bone density, or other factors.
- How to Prevent It: Regular check-ups and adjustments by a skilled orthodontist can help manage and adjust treatment as needed.

Prepration of Surgery
Preparation for Orthodontic Surgery (Braces) ๐ฆท๐ง
Orthodontic surgery, also known as jaw surgery or corrective surgery, is typically needed for patients with severe malocclusion (misalignment) that can’t be corrected with braces alone. At MediKaya Healthcare, we provide comprehensive care to ensure that your orthodontic surgery and treatment are successful. Proper preparation is key to achieving the best possible results.
Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand the steps you need to take to prepare for your surgery:
- Initial Consultation and Evaluation ๐ฉบ
Before any surgery, a thorough consultation with our experienced orthodontist is crucial. During this consultation, your orthodontist will assess your oral health and determine whether surgery is necessary. This process includes:
- Physical Examination: The orthodontist will evaluate the alignment of your teeth, jaws, and bite to decide if surgery is the best course of action.
- X-Rays and 3D Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques like 3D CBCT scans (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) are used to create a detailed map of your jaw and teeth, enabling precise treatment planning.
- Medical History Review: Your orthodontist will review your overall health, including any previous surgeries or medical conditions, to ensure that you are fit for surgery.
- Pre-Surgery Orthodontic Treatment ๐ฆทโ๏ธ
In many cases, orthodontic treatment (braces) is required before surgery. Braces or aligners are often worn for several months (or even up to a year) to reposition the teeth into a more favorable position before surgery. This step helps to make the surgery more effective and reduces the time spent in recovery.
- Adjustments: Your orthodontist will make necessary adjustments to your braces, ensuring they are working toward aligning your teeth correctly.
- Pre-Surgery Planning: We develop a detailed plan, including which jaw structures need to be altered during the surgery.
- Surgical Planning and Preparation ๐
๐
Once your orthodontic treatment has made the necessary progress, and your jaw and teeth are ready for surgery, detailed surgical planning begins. This includes:
- Detailed Assessment: Your surgeon will examine your 3D imaging to carefully plan the required procedure, including any bone cuts, repositioning, or additional treatments needed for optimal results.
- Anesthesia Consultation: You’ll meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss the type of anesthesia you’ll be receiving (general anesthesia is typically used for jaw surgery).
- Pre-Surgery Instructions ๐
To ensure that the surgery goes smoothly and safely, you’ll be given a set of pre-surgery instructions that must be followed carefully:
- Dietary Restrictions: You may be instructed to follow a soft food diet for a period leading up to the surgery, as well as a fasting period before the surgery (usually 8 hours before). This helps reduce the risk of complications with anesthesia.
- Medications: Inform your surgeon about any medications you’re currently taking. You may need to stop taking certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) before the surgery.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain a good oral hygiene routine, but avoid eating or drinking just before the surgery.
- Pre-Surgery Cleanse: In some cases, you may be asked to wash your mouth with an antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of infection.
- Preparing Emotionally and Mentally ๐ญ๐ง
Orthodontic surgery can be a significant emotional and mental challenge. Itโs essential to feel mentally prepared for the procedure, recovery, and temporary lifestyle changes. Here are some tips to help you:
- Talk to Your Doctor: Discuss any concerns or questions with your surgeon and orthodontist. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more confident.
- Support System: Having a support system of family and friends can help you feel more at ease during the recovery process.
- Relaxation Techniques: Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness can help reduce anxiety before the procedure.
- Day of Surgery Preparation โฐ๐
On the day of surgery, there are several final preparations to keep in mind:
- Arrive Early: Arrive at the hospital or clinic early to complete all necessary paperwork and pre-surgery assessments.
- Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing as you may be in the surgical facility for several hours.
- Stay Calm: Our experienced medical team at MediKaya Healthcare will guide you through the process, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout.
- Post-Surgery Support ๐ฅ๐ช
At MediKaya Healthcare, we don’t just focus on the surgery itself, but also on ensuring a smooth and successful recovery process. We provide:
- Comprehensive Recovery Care: After surgery, we offer continuous support, including pain management, medications, and follow-up consultations.

Procedure
Procedure for Orthodontic Surgery (Braces) ๐ฆท๐ง
Orthodontic surgery, commonly known as jaw surgery or corrective surgery, is used to correct severe malocclusion (misalignment of the teeth and jaws) that cannot be treated with braces alone. This procedure is often part of an overall orthodontic treatment plan, especially for those who have significant bite problems, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
At MediKaya Healthcare, we follow a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to ensure a smooth, successful surgical experience for our patients. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the orthodontic surgery procedure:
- Pre-Surgery Preparation ๐๐
Before the surgery, we conduct an extensive consultation and pre-surgery planning. Here’s what happens before the procedure:
- Initial Consultation: A thorough evaluation of your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health is conducted. This includes 3D imaging and X-rays to analyze the positioning of your teeth and jaw structures.
- Orthodontic Treatment (Braces): In most cases, braces are applied 6 to 18 months prior to the surgery to align the teeth and prepare them for jaw repositioning.
- Medical Assessment: We conduct a detailed medical assessment to ensure you’re fit for surgery. This includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, and overall health.
- Surgical Planning: Our oral and maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist collaborate to create a personalized surgical plan, determining the exact adjustments needed for your jaw and teeth.
- Anesthesia and Surgical Preparation ๐๐๏ธ
On the day of surgery, you will undergo the following preparation:
- Anesthesia: The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia to ensure you are completely asleep and pain-free throughout the procedure.
- Pre-Surgery Cleansing: A disinfecting solution will be applied to your mouth and surrounding areas to reduce the risk of infection.
- Surgical Procedure โ๏ธ๐ฆท
The main goal of orthodontic surgery is to reposition the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both to correct bite issues. The procedure varies depending on the individualโs specific needs. Hereโs how it works:
- Incisions: Small incisions are made inside your mouth, around the gums, to avoid visible scarring.
- Jaw Repositioning: The surgeon will reposition the jaw bones to their correct alignment. This may involve cutting the jaw bones, shifting them, and securing them using screws, plates, and wires.
- Bone Grafting (if needed): In some cases, bone grafts may be used to build up the jawbone or help with healing.
- Stabilization: Once the jaw is correctly positioned, the surgeon will stabilize it using surgical hardware.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are carefully closed with sutures, and the surgical area is cleaned.
The entire procedure can last 2 to 5 hours depending on the complexity of the surgery.
- Post-Surgery Recovery & Care ๐๐ช
After the surgery, your recovery process begins. The main goals during recovery are to ensure proper healing of the jaw and teeth, minimize discomfort, and prevent complications. Here’s what to expect:
- Recovery Room: After the surgery, you’ll be moved to a recovery room, where youโll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off.
- Initial Swelling and Discomfort: Swelling and mild pain are common after jaw surgery. Ice packs are used to reduce swelling, and pain medications are prescribed to manage discomfort.
- Hospital Stay: Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days post-surgery for monitoring and initial care.
- Dietary Restrictions: A soft food diet will be prescribed, and you’ll be advised to avoid chewing for the first few weeks.
- Follow-Up Appointments: You will have several follow-up appointments with your surgeon and orthodontist to monitor the healing process and ensure the jaw is healing correctly.
- Orthodontic Care After Surgery ๐ฆท๐
After your surgery, braces are typically worn for several additional months or even years to perfect your bite and alignment. Here’s what you can expect during this phase:
- Braces Adjustments: After surgery, your orthodontist will continue to make adjustments to your braces to finalize the alignment of your teeth.
- Final Stages of Healing: The bone may take 6 to 12 months to fully heal and fuse in its new position (this is called osseointegration). During this time, itโs essential to attend regular check-ups.
- Retainers: Once your bite is fully corrected, your orthodontist may recommend wearing retainers to maintain the new position of your teeth.
- Long-Term Care and Results ๐ฆท๐
- Final Review: Once your teeth and jaw are completely healed and aligned, youโll undergo a final review with your orthodontist to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
- Continued Monitoring: Though your jaw will be fully healed, itโs important to attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw.
- Maintaining the Smile: Youโll be able to enjoy a fully functional and aesthetic smile with improved bite and jaw function, and your self-confidence will increase as well!

Post Procedure
Post Procedure for Orthodontic Surgery (Braces) ๐ฆท๐ช
The post-surgery phase is a crucial part of your orthodontic surgery journey. Proper care and follow-up treatments ensure successful healing, comfort, and long-term results. At MediKaya Healthcare, we provide comprehensive care to guide you through the recovery process. Here’s what you can expect after your orthodontic surgery:
- Immediate Recovery ๐
- Post-Surgery Care: After the surgery, you will be transferred to a recovery room where we monitor your progress as the anesthesia wears off. You may feel groggy and slightly disoriented, but this is normal and will wear off in a few hours.
- Pain Management: Mild discomfort is common during the first few days after surgery. Our team will prescribe pain relievers to keep you comfortable. Ice packs are also recommended to reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Swelling and Bruising: Itโs normal to experience swelling and bruising around your face and jaw. Ice packs should be applied for the first 48 hours to help minimize the swelling. Swelling will begin to reduce after a few days but may take up to 2 weeks to subside fully.
- Hospital Stay ๐ฅ
- Duration: Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days following orthognathic surgery to ensure their immediate recovery is on track. During this time, your condition will be monitored, and any complications can be addressed promptly.
- Mobility: You may feel slightly uncomfortable, but walking around and moving gently will help improve circulation and speed up your recovery.
- Soft Diet ๐ฒ๐ฆท
- Dietary Restrictions: After surgery, you will be advised to follow a soft food diet for the first few weeks. This helps prevent any strain on your jaw while it heals. Foods such as soups, smoothies, puddings, and mashed potatoes are ideal.
- Avoid Chewing: Do not chew hard or tough foods for the first several weeks. Eating carefully during the healing phase will ensure a smooth recovery process.
- Post-Surgery Pain and Swelling ๐ง๐
- Managing Pain: You may experience some pain or discomfort in the jaw area after the surgery. This is typically controlled with prescribed pain medications. Swelling can also cause discomfort, but using ice packs and elevating your head while sleeping can significantly reduce it.
- Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments will allow your surgeons and orthodontists to monitor your progress and address any concerns. These appointments are typically scheduled 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery.
- Oral Hygiene and Care ๐ฆท๐ชฅ
- Gentle Brushing: Keeping your mouth clean is essential to avoid infections. After surgery, you’ll need to brush your teeth gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Make sure to avoid brushing the surgical site directly for the first few days.
- Mouth Rinse: Use an antiseptic mouth rinse recommended by your orthodontist to keep the surgical site clean and reduce the risk of infection.
- Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and alcohol can slow down the healing process. Itโs crucial to refrain from both during your recovery period.
- Follow-Up Appointments ๐
๐จโโ๏ธ
- Orthodontic Adjustments: After the surgery, your orthodontist will continue to adjust your braces to ensure your teeth move into their correct positions. These adjustments are important for completing the alignment of your bite.
- Surgical Site Checks: Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the jaw is healing properly and that there are no complications. The first post-surgery check-up is typically within a week of surgery, followed by additional visits to monitor healing progress.
- Retainers: After the final stage of your orthodontic treatment, a retainer will likely be recommended to help maintain the new position of your teeth. Retainers are typically worn for a long period after treatment to prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
- Healing and Recovery Timeline โณ๐ฆท
- Initial Healing: The initial healing of the soft tissues in the mouth can take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, you may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising, but this will gradually subside.
- Bone Healing: The bone that has been repositioned during surgery will take longer to heal. Full bone healing, known as osseointegration, typically takes 6 to 12 months. During this time, itโs essential to continue following the instructions provided by your surgeon and orthodontist for the best results.
- Resuming Normal Activities ๐โโ๏ธ๐๏ธ
- Rest Period: For the first few weeks after surgery, you should avoid intense physical activities and strenuous exercise. Resting is essential to ensure that your body focuses on healing.
- Gradual Return to Normal Activities: After the initial recovery period, you can gradually resume normal activities, but you should continue to avoid high-impact sports or activities that could put stress on your jaw.
- Long-Term Results ๐ฆท๐
- Improved Function and Aesthetics: Once you have fully healed, you will experience an improved bite, better jaw alignment, and a more balanced facial appearance. The surgery not only enhances your smile but also restores functional benefits such as better chewing and speaking.
- Continued Monitoring: To ensure that the improvements last, regular visits to your orthodontist and dentist will help monitor the position of your teeth and jaw.

At MediKaya Healthcare, we prioritize delivering the best results in orthodontic treatments, ensuring that our international patients get optimal outcomes. Understanding the success rate of braces treatment is essential for making an informed decision about your dental health. Hereโs what you need to know about the success rate of orthodontic treatments:
General Success Rate of Braces ๐ช
Braces are one of the most reliable and effective solutions for correcting misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, and other orthodontic issues. The overall success rate of braces treatment is extremely high, ranging from 90% to 95%.
Key factors that contribute to the success of the procedure include:
- Patient compliance with wearing rubber bands and retainers as prescribed.
- Orthodontist’s expertise and experience.
- Overall oral health and hygiene.
- Personalized treatment plans based on specific needs.

Key Success Factors for Orthodontic Treatment ๐ฆท๐
Here are the main elements that contribute to the high success rate of braces treatment at MediKaya Healthcare:
- Early Intervention:
- Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to better results. In children and teens, the bones are still developing, making it easier to correct alignment issues.
- Adherence to Treatment Plan:
- Wearing retainers after the braces are removed is crucial to maintain the new alignment of teeth. Our orthodontists will guide you on the importance of wearing retainers consistently.
- Healthy Gums and Teeth:
- Healthy gums and teeth are necessary for the braces to work effectively. We emphasize the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene throughout the treatment.
- Routine Checkups and Adjustments:
- Regular checkups and adjustments are essential to make sure the braces are working correctly and that your treatment is on track.
Long-Term Success of Orthodontic Treatment ๐
๐ฆท
One of the biggest advantages of braces treatment is its long-lasting results. After treatment, most patients experience a permanent change in the alignment of their teeth. However, the retention phase is critical:
- Post-Treatment Retainers: Wearing retainers after the treatment is crucial to prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original position.
- Final Results: The final result is generally permanent, and most patients enjoy straight, healthy teeth for years to come, provided they maintain good oral hygiene.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Success Rate โ๐ฆท
Q1: How long will it take to see results with braces?
- A1: Typically, results start showing within 3 to 6 months of wearing braces. However, the complete alignment may take anywhere between 12 to 24 months depending on the severity of the dental issue.
Q2: Can braces fix severe misalignment?
- A2: Yes, braces are highly effective for even severe misalignment, overbites, underbites, and crowding. With personalized treatment plans, even complex dental issues can be corrected successfully.
Q3: Will my teeth go back to their original position after the treatment?
- A3: With proper use of retainers after the braces are removed, the teeth should remain in their new position. Itโs important to follow the orthodontist’s advice regarding retainers for long-term success.
Q4: What should I do if my braces cause discomfort?
- A4: Some discomfort is normal during the first few days after braces are adjusted. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help, and we advise using orthodontic wax to ease any irritation caused by brackets and wires.
Q5: How can I ensure the success of my orthodontic treatment?
- A5: Following your orthodontist’s instructions, wearing your retainers as prescribed, and attending all scheduled checkups will help ensure the success of your treatment. Proper oral hygiene is also essential to avoid complications.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Orthodontic Treatment (Braces) at MediKaya Healthcare โ๐ฆท
At MediKaya Healthcare, we understand that orthodontic treatment can raise many questions for our international patients. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding braces treatment. If you have any other queries, feel free to contact us!
- What are braces, and how do they work? ๐ค
Braces are dental devices used to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. They consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands that gradually move teeth into better positions. By applying consistent pressure, braces help align your teeth, improve your bite, and enhance your overall smile.
- How long will I need to wear braces? โณ
The treatment duration typically ranges from 12 months to 2 years, depending on the severity of your condition. Complex cases may require longer treatment, while minor corrections may be completed faster. Regular check-ups and adjustments help speed up the process.
- Are braces treatment painful? ๐ฃ
You may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the initial placement of braces or after adjustments. This is normal and should subside within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage the discomfort. Braces do not cause significant pain during the treatment.
- How often will I need to visit the orthodontist? ๐๏ธ
You will need to visit our orthodontist every 4 to 6 weeks for check-ups and adjustments. These visits are essential to monitor the progress of your treatment and make any necessary adjustments to the braces.
- Can I eat normally with braces? ๐ฝ๏ธ
Yes, you can eat with braces, but you should avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that may damage the wires or brackets. We recommend eating softer foods and cutting larger items into smaller pieces. Our orthodontists will provide detailed guidelines on food restrictions.
- Will braces affect my speech? ๐ฃ๏ธ
While braces may cause some initial discomfort or mild difficulty with speaking, most patients quickly adapt to the braces, and their speech returns to normal after a few days. If you’re having persistent issues, our orthodontists can provide advice to help.
- Do I need to wear retainers after braces? ๐ฆท
Yes, wearing retainers after your braces are removed is crucial to ensure that your teeth stay in their new position. Retainers help maintain the alignment of your teeth, preventing them from shifting back to their original positions. Your orthodontist will provide specific instructions on how long and when to wear your retainer.
- Can I get braces if I have dental issues like gum disease or cavities? ๐ฆท๐ฆ
It’s important to have any existing dental issues like cavities or gum disease treated before getting braces. Our orthodontist will conduct a thorough oral health evaluation to ensure your teeth and gums are in good condition before starting the treatment.
- Will braces fix my bite issues? ๐ฆท
Yes, braces are highly effective at correcting bite issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. The braces will gradually shift your teeth into better alignment, improving both the appearance and functionality of your bite.
- Can adults get braces? ๐ฉโโ๏ธ๐จโโ๏ธ
Absolutely! Braces are not just for children and teenagers. Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to achieve a better smile. With modern braces options, such as clear aligners and ceramic braces, adult patients can benefit from a more discreet treatment process while achieving great results.
- How much do braces cost? ๐ฐ
At MediKaya Healthcare, we offer affordable braces treatment in India, significantly more cost-effective than many other countries. Prices can vary based on the type of braces and the complexity of the treatment. Here is a general cost breakdown:
- Metal Braces: $500 โ $1,500
- Ceramic Braces: $1,000 โ $2,000
- Clear Aligners: $1,500 โ $3,000
- Invisalign: $2,000 โ $5,000
For detailed pricing, feel free to contact us for a personalized consultation. ๐ฆท
- How do I take care of my braces? ๐งผ
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for successful braces treatment:
- Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
- Use dental floss or a water flosser to clean between the brackets and wires.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage your braces.
- Follow our orthodontist’s instructions for oral care and maintenance.
- What happens if I donโt wear my retainer? ๐ซ
If you don’t wear your retainer as prescribed, your teeth may gradually shift back to their original positions, which can undo the results of your braces treatment. Wearing your retainer regularly is essential to maintain the alignment achieved through braces.
- How soon can I travel after getting braces? โ๏ธ
You can travel immediately after getting braces as the procedure is non-invasive and doesnโt require a long recovery period. However, itโs advisable to wait until any discomfort or soreness from the adjustment phase has subsided.
- Are there alternatives to traditional braces? ๐ฆท
Yes! There are several alternative options for orthodontic treatment:
- Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) for a more discreet solution.
- Lingual Braces that are placed on the back of the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
- Ceramic Braces for a more aesthetic look, as they blend with the natural color of your teeth.
Our orthodontists at MediKaya Healthcare will guide you to the best solution based on your needs and preferences.
- Can I get braces if Iโm pregnant? ๐คฐ
It’s best to wait until after pregnancy to get braces, as hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect the gums, and dental treatment may be more complicated. We recommend discussing any plans with your orthodontist and consulting with your doctor before starting treatment.
