What Are Dental Braces & How Do They Work in Thika?

Dental braces are orthodontic appliances that apply continuous, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. At One Touch Dental Clinic in Thika, we use clinically proven bracket-and-wire systems that are effective for patients of all ages — from teenagers getting their first orthodontic treatment to adults correcting years of misalignment.

We treat a wide range of alignment issues: overcrowded teeth, wide gaps between teeth, protruding front teeth, deep overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Before beginning any orthodontic treatment at our Thika clinic, we carry out a thorough oral examination and may take X-rays to assess your jaw structure and tooth positioning. This ensures we create a treatment plan that is specifically matched to your anatomy and your goals.

Metallic braces use stainless steel brackets bonded to the front of each tooth, connected by a metal archwire. They are extremely durable, highly effective, and the most affordable option — starting at KES 30,000 per jaw at our Thika clinic. Ceramic braces work identically but use tooth-coloured or translucent brackets, making them far less noticeable. They are ideal for patients who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. Ceramic braces at One Touch Dental Thika start at KES 35,000 per jaw.

One Touch Dental is one of the most accessible orthodontic providers in Thika and Kiambu County, offering braces at transparent, competitive prices. The full both-jaw package — treating both the upper and lower arches together — costs KES 50,000, representing substantial savings compared to treating each jaw separately. Monthly adjustment visits are included and scheduled every 4–6 weeks. After your braces are removed, we fit you with a retainer to hold your newly aligned teeth in position permanently.

Who needs braces? Anyone with crowded teeth, visible gaps, teeth that don't meet properly when biting, or self-consciousness about a crooked smile. Many Thika patients seek braces for cosmetic reasons, but well-aligned teeth also reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, jaw pain, and abnormal tooth wear — making orthodontic treatment a genuinely health-positive investment.

Braces in Thika — Questions Patients Ask

How much do braces cost in Thika? +
At One Touch Dental in Thika, metallic braces cost KES 30,000 per jaw and ceramic braces cost KES 35,000 per jaw. If you need both upper and lower jaws treated, the package price is KES 50,000 — saving you KES 10,000–20,000 compared to treating each jaw separately. This price includes the initial fitting, all adjustment visits, and the retainer consultation.
How long do braces take to straighten teeth? +
Most patients in Thika complete their orthodontic treatment within 12 to 24 months, depending on the severity of misalignment. Mild crowding cases can be resolved in as little as 8–10 months, while complex bite correction may take up to 2 years. You will visit One Touch Dental every 4–6 weeks for wire adjustments during this period.
What is the difference between metallic and ceramic braces? +
Metallic braces use stainless steel brackets and wires — they are the most durable, most effective, and most affordable option (KES 30,000/jaw at One Touch Dental Thika). Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth, making them far less visible. Ceramic braces cost slightly more (KES 35,000/jaw) but work on the same principle as metallic ones. Both types are equally effective.
Do braces hurt? +
You will feel pressure and mild soreness for 3–5 days after your initial fitting and after each monthly adjustment. This is completely normal and means the braces are working. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol help. The discomfort fades quickly. Our team at One Touch Dental Thika will also provide orthodontic wax to cover any brackets that irritate your cheeks or lips.
Can adults get braces in Thika? +
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age. A significant portion of our braces patients at One Touch Dental Thika are adults — from young professionals wanting a confident smile to older patients correcting long-standing alignment issues. There is no upper age limit for braces, provided your gums and bone structure are healthy.
What foods should I avoid with braces? +
Avoid hard, crunchy foods (raw carrots, hard sweets, popcorn), sticky foods (chewing gum, toffee), and foods you bite directly into (whole apples, corn on the cob). These can break brackets or bend wires. Cut food into small pieces where needed. Soft foods like ugali, cooked vegetables, rice, and yogurt are ideal throughout your treatment at One Touch Dental Thika.
