Your braces journey, step by step
Visit 1: consultation
You tell your dentist what you would like to change. Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite, explains whether braces or aligners suit you, and gives an idea of time and cost.
Visit 2: records
X-rays, photos and impressions or a scan are taken. These show the roots and jaw, and are used to plan exactly how each tooth will move.
Visit 3: your treatment plan
Your dentist goes through the plan, the expected time and the full cost. Any work needed first, such as scaling, fillings or removing teeth, is explained. You can take the plan home and decide in your own time.
Fitting day
The brackets are bonded to your teeth and the wire is placed, usually in about an hour. You go home with cleaning tools and care instructions.
The first week
Your teeth will likely feel sore and the brackets may rub your cheeks. Soft food, orthodontic wax and pain relief recommended by your dentist help. Most people feel used to their braces within one to two weeks.
Every 4 to 6 weeks: adjustments
Your dentist changes or adjusts the wire and checks progress. Teeth may feel tender for a day or two afterwards.
The final months
Fine adjustments bring the bite together and finish the alignment.
Debond day and retainers
The braces are removed, your teeth are polished and you receive retainers. Wearing them as advised is what keeps your new smile straight.
A typical timeline
| Stage | When | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Weeks 1 to 3 | Consultation, records and treatment plan |
| Alignment | Months 1 to 6 | Crowded and rotated teeth start to straighten |
| Space and bite | Months 6 to 18 | Gaps close and the bite is corrected |
| Finishing | Final months | Small details are adjusted |
| Retention | After braces | Retainers keep teeth in place |
Timelines vary. Simple cases can finish sooner; complex bites may take longer. Your dentist gives you a personal estimate.
Tips to keep treatment on track
- Brush after meals and use an interdental brush around brackets.
- Cut hard food into small pieces and avoid ice, bones and sticky sweets.
- Do not skip adjustment visits; gaps between visits can make treatment longer.
- Book scaling and polishing during treatment to keep gums healthy.
Frequently asked questions about braces in Cheras
How much do braces cost in Cheras?
At Qualiteeth Cheras, metal braces start from RM4,000 and clear aligners from RM7,999. Ceramic and self-ligating braces are quoted after consultation. Your dentist explains the full cost, including adjustments and retainers, before you start, and payment options are available.
How many visits will I need for braces?
Usually two or three visits before the braces go on (consultation, records and fitting), then an adjustment about every 4 to 6 weeks, and a final visit to remove the braces and fit retainers. Most people have around 15 to 30 visits in total.
How long is each adjustment visit?
Most adjustment visits take about 20 to 30 minutes. The Cheras branch is open daily from 9am to 7pm, including weekends, so visits are easy to plan.
What if a bracket comes off?
It happens occasionally, usually after biting something hard. WhatsApp the Cheras branch at 013-490 7076 and we will arrange a time to fix it. Keep any loose parts and avoid chewing on that side until then.
How long do I need to wear a retainer?
Wear your retainer as your dentist advises, usually full-time at first and then at night. Teeth can drift for many years, so long-term night-time wear helps keep your result.
