Fixed orthodontic treatment

Braces in Accra

Fixed braces use brackets and wires to move teeth gradually. An orthodontic assessment at Busy Bite Dental in Accra can determine whether braces are suitable, what records are needed and how the treatment and retention stages may be planned.

REASONS TO ARRANGE AN ASSESSMENT

When this conversation may be useful.

These are starting points, not a self-diagnosis checklist. Contact the clinic if a dental concern is persistent, worsening or worrying you.

01

Crowded or rotated teeth

Fixed braces may be considered for a range of alignment concerns after assessment.

 

02

Spaces between teeth

The cause and size of the spaces influence the orthodontic plan.

03

Bite concerns

How the upper and lower teeth meet is an important part of planning treatment.

04

Previous tooth movement

If teeth have shifted after earlier treatment, the current position and retention history should be reviewed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A clear path from concern to plan.

Complete an orthodontic assessment

Discuss your goals and allow the clinician to assess alignment, bite and oral health.

Plan and fit the braces

If fixed braces are suitable, the records, appliance and review schedule are planned for your case.

Attend reviews and retention

Regular adjustments and a retention plan are important parts of the full orthodontic process.

Questions to ask

Understand the recommendation

Can adults have braces?

Adults may be suitable for orthodontic treatment. Oral health, alignment, bite and individual goals need to be assessed before a recommendation is made.

Treatment time varies with the complexity of tooth movement, the appliance, attendance and individual response. A meaningful estimate requires planning.

Teeth may feel tender after fitting or adjustments. The clinician should explain what is expected and when to contact the clinic for advice.

Plaque can collect around brackets and wires. Careful brushing, cleaning between the teeth and regular dental reviews help reduce the risk of decay and gum problems.
