Achieve a Perfect Smile with Braces in Pretoria
Braces are orthodontic devices designed to correct teeth and jaw alignment issues.
By applying consistent, gentle pressure over time, braces gradually guide your teeth into their ideal positions, giving you a healthier, more confident smile.
Types of Braces We Offer
At Every Smile Dentistry, we provide a variety of braces to suit your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and orthodontic needs:
Metal Braces
The most traditional and widely used option, metal braces consist of durable stainless-steel brackets connected by a thin metal wire. They are highly effective for treating even complex misalignments.
Ceramic Braces
For a more discreet option, ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend with your teeth. These are a favorite among patients looking to straighten their teeth without drawing much attention.
Lingual Braces
These braces are bonded to the back of your teeth, making them almost invisible from the outside. Ideal for those who want an invisible option but can adapt to the slight adjustments in speech and eating.
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign)
Removable, transparent, and virtually invisible, clear aligners offer a modern alternative to traditional braces. They’re perfect for patients seeking a comfortable, convenient solution for mild to moderate misalignments.
Your Journey with Braces
Step 1: Initial Consultation
During your first visit, our orthodontist will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your goals. A customized treatment plan will then be created based on your specific needs.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
After your consultation, we’ll outline:
- The type of braces that suit you best.
- The estimated duration of treatment.
- The cost and payment options available.
Step 3: Preparing for Braces
Before braces are placed, your teeth need to be in optimal condition. We may recommend:
- A professional cleaning.
- The placement of spacers if necessary to prepare your teeth.
Step-by-Step Braces Procedure
Placement Appointment
- Cleaning and Preparation: Your teeth are cleaned and dried.
- Bonding Brackets: A special adhesive is applied to secure brackets onto your teeth.
- Inserting the Archwire: The wire is threaded through the brackets and secured with elastics.
Regular Adjustments
During your periodic visits, the orthodontist will adjust the archwire to continue guiding your teeth into their proper positions.
Braces Removal
Once your treatment is complete, the brackets and wires are carefully removed, and retainers are provided to maintain your results.

Aftercare Tips for Braces
