Braces gradually move crooked, crowded or gapped teeth into the correct position. At Tooth Point Dental Care, metal braces cost ৳40,000–70,000 and treatment typically runs 18–24 months. The fee can be paid in instalments.
When you need it
Who needs braces
- Crooked or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Upper teeth protruding noticeably
- Lower jaw sitting forward
- A bite that doesn't meet properly, making chewing difficult
Best age: 12–16 is ideal, when the jaw is still developing and teeth move quickly. Adults can absolutely have braces too — treatment simply takes a little longer. Braces work successfully well into the thirties and forties.
How it’s done
The process
- Examination X-rays and a treatment plan
- Making space extractions if needed
- Fitting the braces takes 1–2 hours
- Adjustment visits every 4–6 weeks
- Removal at the end of treatment
- Retainers skipping these lets the teeth drift back
