Braces are one of the most reliable ways to correct misaligned teeth, improve bite function, and create a healthier, more confident smile. At Ignite Orthodontics, we make the process clear, comfortable, and fully tailored to your needs from start to finish.
Braces offer precise, controlled movement of the teeth, making them highly effective for both simple and complex orthodontic concerns. They work continuously to guide your teeth into proper alignment, delivering predictable, long-lasting results.
Whether you are dealing with crowding, spacing, bite issues, or overall misalignment, braces provide a structured and proven path to a healthier smile.
At Ignite Orthodontics, we focus on making the experience as straightforward and comfortable as possible, with clear guidance at every stage.
We offer different types of braces to suit your needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Metal braces are the most traditional and widely used orthodontic treatment. They are strong, reliable, and highly effective for treating a wide range of alignment and bite issues.
They remain a great option for children, teens, and adults who want consistent and predictable results.
Learn about traditional bracesCeramic braces work in the same way as metal braces but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend more naturally with your smile.
They are a popular choice for patients who want effective treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Learn about ceramic bracesSelf-ligating braces use a modern clip system instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place. This allows for smoother tooth movement and may reduce the number of adjustment visits required.
They are designed for efficiency, comfort, and improved hygiene during treatment.
Lingual braces are attached to the back surfaces of your teeth, so they are hidden from view when you smile. They work in the same way as other fixed braces, using brackets and wires to guide your teeth into place.
They can be a good choice for patients who want fixed treatment that is not visible from the front. Your orthodontist will let you know whether lingual braces are suitable for your bite.
Braces can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

It is normal to feel mild pressure or discomfort when braces are first placed or adjusted. This typically settles as your mouth adapts.
Most patients adjust within a few days and continue treatment comfortably with regular check-ins.
Treatment time varies, but most cases are completed within 12 to 24 months depending on complexity and consistency.
Once your braces are removed, retainers are essential to maintain your results. Teeth naturally shift over time, and retainers help keep everything in place.
We provide clear instructions and ongoing support to ensure your results last for years to come.
