Braces Myths Busted

Braces still scare a lot of people — thanks to stories, assumptions, or outdated info. Let’s set the record straight, one myth at a time.

❌ Myth 1: Braces are only for kids

✅ Truth: More than 40% of our patients are adults. Smile correction is for everyone — age is not a limit.

❌ Myth 2: Once braces are off, teeth will remain the same for life

✅ Truth: Retainers are equally important after braces. And at Dentica, we advice our patients to use retainers for at least a year and longer in some cases.

❌ Myth 3: Aligners work for everyone.

✅ Truth: Some complex cases are always better done with braces.

❌ Myth 4: Braces can ruin my smile

✅ Truth: Braces will help you bring out the best smile.

🧠 Final Word: Don’t let myths keep you from smiling confidently.
