FAQ
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing and treating dental and facial irregularities. The most common orthodontic treatment involves braces or clear aligners to correct misaligned teeth and improve bite function. Orthodontic care helps enhance oral health and overall appearance by creating a straighter, more balanced smile.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
It is recommended that children see an orthodontist by the age of 7. At this age, their permanent teeth are beginning to come in, and any potential alignment issues can be identified early. Early intervention can prevent more complex problems from developing and, in some cases, reduce the length of future treatment.
What are the different types of braces?
There are several types of braces, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Metal braces are the most common and durable option, while ceramic braces offer a more discreet alternative. Invisalign treatment is a popular choice for those looking for a nearly invisible solution to orthodontic treatment. Each option has its benefits, and we will recommend the best one based on your needs.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The length of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment chosen. On average, most patients wear braces or clear aligners for 12 to 24 months. We will provide a more accurate timeline after evaluating your specific needs.
Do braces or aligners hurt?
It is normal to experience some discomfort or pressure when braces are first applied or when aligners are switched out. This mild discomfort typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate any soreness. If you experience prolonged or severe pain, it is important to contact us for an evaluation.
