A. With any orthodontic treatment- ie braces, there is usually no need to have any injections. The placement of the brackets and the wire on your teteh may feel tight initially, but shouldn’t be painful- so that is why anaesthetic is not needed. There are alternative treatments such as invisalign that you can research online. The costs are usually a little more than the fixed braces as they are more discreet. Ideally, you need to discuss all of your concerns with your dentist so that he/she can explore all of your options and help you decide which treatment is best for you.
