Teeth Straightening FAQs
What is orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on aligning teeth, correcting bite issues, and improving overall dental harmony. Using techniques such as braces, clear aligners, and retainers, orthodontics gently moves teeth into their ideal positions over time.

If you’re considering orthodontics in Jersey, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process with expertise, reassurance, and a commitment to exceptional care.
How much do orthodontic braces cost
How to use orthodontic wax
Orthodontic wax is a simple yet effective way to relieve irritation caused by braces or other orthodontic appliances. It acts as a protective barrier between your braces and the soft tissues of your mouth, reducing discomfort as your mouth adjusts.
At Confidence Dental, we regularly guide patients through the process of using orthodontic wax as part of their journey with orthodontics in Jersey. Here’s how to use it properly:
- Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the wax.
- Break off a small piece of wax—about the size of a pea.
- Roll it into a ball between your fingers to soften it.
- Locate the area causing discomfort, such as a bracket or wire.
- Dry the area with a tissue or cotton swab (wax sticks better to dry surfaces).
- Press the wax gently onto the brace or wire that’s irritating your cheek, lip, or tongue.
You can eat and speak normally with the wax in place, but remember to remove it before brushing your teeth, and replace it with a fresh piece as needed.
For more support with your braces, our friendly team is always here to help. Trust Confidence Dental for expert care in orthodontics Jersey patients rely on.
What are orthodontic braces made of
Orthodontic braces are made from a combination of durable, medical-grade materials designed to safely and effectively guide your teeth into better alignment over time. At Confidence Dental, we offer a variety of brace types to suit both clinical needs and lifestyle preferences as part of our expert care in orthodontics in Jersey.
Here’s a breakdown of the common materials used in orthodontic braces:
- Metal Braces – Traditional fixed braces are typically made from stainless steel or titanium alloys. These materials are strong, resistant to corrosion, and designed for precision in tooth movement.
- Ceramic Braces – For a more discreet option, ceramic braces use clear or tooth-coloured materials that blend in with your smile while providing the same effectiveness as metal brackets.
- Wires – The archwires that connect brackets are often made from nickel-titanium or stainless steel, which apply gentle, continuous pressure to shift the teeth gradually.
- Elastics – Small rubber bands (ligatures) may also be used to hold the wire in place or to aid in bite correction.
- Plastic – Invisalign is made from a medical grade plastic designed to be flexible yet still move your teeth
Each material is chosen for its safety, comfort, and performance. Our team will recommend the most suitable option based on your goals and lifestyle during your initial consultation.
What is lingual orthodontics
Lingual orthodontics is a discreet form of orthodontic treatment where braces are fitted to the back (lingual side) of the teeth, rather than the front. This makes them virtually invisible when you smile, speak, or eat—making lingual braces an ideal choice for adults and teens seeking a more subtle approach to straightening their teeth.
At Confidence Dental, we’re proud to offer lingual orthodontics in Jersey as part of our advanced, personalised orthodontic care. Lingual braces work in the same way as traditional fixed braces, using brackets and wires to gently move teeth into their correct positions over time. The key difference is their placement—hidden from view but just as effective.
This treatment is custom-designed for each patient, with brackets precisely engineered to fit the contours of the back of your teeth for maximum comfort and performance.
Lingual orthodontics is an excellent option for those who want the benefits of fixed braces without the visible appearance. If you’re interested in a discreet, high-performance treatment option, speak to our team about whether lingual braces are right for you.
Invisalign FAQs
What is invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move your teeth into their ideal position—without the need for metal brackets or wires. At Confidence Dental, we offer Invisalign in Jersey as a discreet, comfortable solution for patients looking to improve their smile with minimal disruption to their lifestyle.
Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth and is worn for around two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. Over time, Invisalign aligners guide your teeth into alignment with precise, controlled movements.
Invisalign is ideal for treating a wide range of concerns, including:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment
Because they’re nearly invisible, Invisalign aligners are particularly popular with adults and professionals. They can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions—offering both flexibility and freedom during treatment.
If you’re looking for a clear, convenient orthodontic solution in Jersey, Invisalign could be the perfect option. Book a consultation at Confidence Dental to find out if it’s right for you.
How long does invisalign take
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients see results in 6 to 18 months. At Confidence Dental, we provide personalised Invisalign treatment in Jersey, designed to fit your goals, lifestyle, and timeline.
Mild crowding or minor spacing may be corrected in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases—such as significant bite alignment—can take up to 18 months or more. During your consultation, we’ll carry out a detailed digital scan to create a custom treatment plan and give you a clear idea of how long your Invisalign journey will take.
You’ll typically wear each set of clear aligners for 1 to 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day.
Regular check-ins with your orthodontist help ensure everything is progressing as planned. If you’re considering a discreet, efficient solution for straighter teeth, Invisalign may be the perfect choice. Discover your options with our expert team in orthodontics today.
