Braces used in orthodontic treatment need time to work. This generally takes two to three years. The braces are fixed permanently on the teeth until the completion of treatment. Special appliances called retainers are fitted after braces treatment to hold the teeth in their new position.
For treatment to progress smoothly, you need to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing regularly, especially after every meal and snack. Remember to bring a travel toothbrush with you when you are not at home. Avoid eating hard, sticky foods and keep to your orthodontic appointments faithfully.
