Hello Doctor, can I ask if I can have braces a second time? The first time I did not get the desired results, so I want to have braces again. I am wondering what will happen if I have braces twice, will it cost more? I hope the Doctor can help me answer this question – This is a question sent to BIK International Dental Clinic by a patient. Please refer to the information below to understand more about the Doctor’s opinion on this issue.
Why do I have to get braces again?
If the results after the first braces are not as expected, with crooked, misaligned, crowded teeth, buck teeth, underbite and sunken cheeks, many people have decided to have braces a second time.
During the second braces process, the use of dental devices helps move the teeth to the correct position, creating beautiful, even teeth, thereby improving the beauty of the face and smile. However, it is important that the patient needs to determine the cause of the failure in the previous adjustment, in order to have a suitable adjustment method, ensuring maximum effectiveness for the next braces.
Is it safe to have braces twice? Does it affect oral health?
In case of any questions about braces for the second time, the orthodontist at BIK International Dental Clinic said that if the braces process is performed correctly without damaging the tooth structure, then the second braces will not affect oral health.
Therefore, patients can have braces for the second time, but to ensure safety, the doctor recommends choosing a reputable dental clinic. Here, the team of doctors has professional knowledge, along with modern equipment, helping the braces process go smoothly and effectively without causing damage to the teeth.
On the contrary, if the braces are performed at a poor quality facility, the doctor is inexperienced and performs the wrong technique, it can lead to tooth damage, pulpitis or even pulp death.
How long does it take to get braces the second time?
The time required for a second orthodontic treatment may vary depending on the condition of the patient’s teeth and jawbone, as well as the orthodontic method and the doctor’s skills.
However, patients can rest assured that the second orthodontic treatment process is usually faster than the first. To know the exact time required, you should go for a check-up and take X-rays. This helps the doctor evaluate and predict how long the second orthodontic treatment will last.
Is the price of braces for the second time more expensive than the first time?
If you want to get braces for the second time at the same dental clinic that did the previous adjustment, you may be eligible for a warranty or discount. This can help reduce the cost or even cost nothing. However, if you choose another place for your second adjustment, the cost may be similar to the first time. Therefore, your decision should be based on your personal financial situation.

Eat according to doctor’s instructions
During the process of wearing orthodontic braces, patients need to establish a scientific diet. Because the archwire and braces make the tongue, lips, and jaw inflexible, you should prioritize soft, easy-to-swallow foods such as porridge, soup, vermicelli, pho, and cereals. Supplement milk or fruit and vegetable juice to provide nutrition for the body.
Foods such as candy, bones, and ice should be limited because they can damage teeth, causing the archwire and braces to break. Sticky, chewy foods such as rice cakes, sticky rice cakes, marshmallows, and chewing gum should also be avoided to avoid causing blockages and creating conditions for bacteria to grow in the mouth.
Proper dental care
To achieve good results when wearing braces, patients need to take good care of their teeth. For example, if you are wearing braces, brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and between your teeth. In the case of clear braces, after removing the tray, clean the tray thoroughly and let it dry before wearing it again. In particular, patients need to use water pickers, dental floss and mouthwash to completely kill bacteria, keeping their oral health well protected.
Be careful when playing sports
Many cases of braces failure are due to injury during sports activities, which puts a lot of pressure on the teeth and damages or breaks the braces. To avoid this, you should wear a retainer when participating in sports activities. If you use removable dentures, remember to remove the aligners when playing sports to avoid damage.
Regular dental check-ups
During the process of wearing braces, regular check-ups according to the doctor’s appointment are very important. This helps the doctor adjust the braces, monitor the movement of teeth and detect abnormalities early for timely intervention.
Wear a retainer after removing braces
Wearing a retainer after braces is necessary to keep teeth stable and avoid re-misalignment.
Patients need to wear the retainer continuously for 12 – 20 hours a day for the first 3 – 6 months, then only wear it at night for the next 6 months. To ensure hygiene, the retainer should be removed when participating in physical activities, daily activities and eating.
Braces for the second time do not affect oral health if performed properly at a reputable dental clinic.
