Is the treatment procedure painful?

Only mild pain occurs initially, and this too can be eliminated by taking medication. Braces can cause lacerations and the tongue and lips if not careful.

Is there any need for extraction?

Extraction of teeth before orthodontic treatment is needed only in cases of severe crowding of teeth.

How long do you have to wear braces?

That depends on the severity of the case. It may last from 8 to 18 months.

What are the precautions to be taken while wearing braces?
