What Are Braces?
Braces are an orthodontic treatment that uses brackets and wires — metal or tooth-colored ceramic — to apply gentle, constant pressure on your teeth, gradually guiding them into the correct position. At Dr. Emerico’s Dental Clinic in Margao, braces are one of our most requested treatments among teenagers and adults who want straighter teeth, a better bite, and improved oral health for the long term.
What Braces Can Correct
Braces are commonly used to treat overbite (upper teeth sit too far forward), underbite (lower jaw juts forward), crossbite (upper and lower teeth don’t align when biting down), open bite (front teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed), gaps between teeth, and crowding. Left untreated, these issues can make teeth harder to clean, wear unevenly, and contribute to jaw pain over time.
The Treatment Process
Your journey starts with a comprehensive examination and, where needed, digital X-rays to assess your bite and jaw alignment. Dr. Emerico’s team then builds a customized treatment plan before placing your braces. You’ll visit the clinic roughly every four to six weeks for adjustments as your teeth gradually move into place. Once treatment is complete, braces are removed and a retainer is provided to keep your new smile stable.
Why Choose Dr. Emerico's for Braces in Margao
Straighter teeth aren’t just cosmetic — properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss thoroughly, which lowers your risk of decay and gum disease. Our team explains your options (metal vs. ceramic, expected treatment length, and cost) honestly upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
Caring for Your Teeth During Treatment
Braces make certain foods (hard, sticky, or very chewy items) harder to eat safely, and brushing takes a little more care around each bracket. Our team will show you exactly how to brush and floss effectively with braces on, and we’ll check for any early signs of decay or gum irritation at each adjustment visit — so your teeth stay healthy throughout treatment, not just straight at the end of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does braces treatment usually take?
Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, depending on how much movement their teeth need — Dr. Emerico will give you a realistic timeline after your initial examination.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel mild soreness or pressure for a few days after placement and after each adjustment, but braces themselves don’t cause ongoing pain — over-the-counter pain relief usually manages any discomfort.
What's the difference between metal and ceramic braces?
Metal braces are the most affordable and durable option; ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend in more, at a slightly higher cost. Both work equally well — the choice is mostly about appearance and budget.
Can adults get braces, or is it only for teenagers?
Braces work at any age as long as your gums and jawbone are healthy. We treat both teenagers and adults at our Margao clinic.
Will I need to wear a retainer after braces come off?
Yes — a retainer is essential to stop your teeth from gradually shifting back. We’ll fit yours on the day your braces are removed and explain how often to wear it.
