^FAQ

Orthodontics FAQ

At what age can children get braces?

Most children are ready for braces between the ages of 10 and 14, when most permanent teeth have erupted. However, early intervention treatment can begin as early as age 6 or 7 if needed. We’ll assess your child during a consultation.

Can adults get braces?

Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment works at any age as long as you have healthy gums and bone. More than a quarter of orthodontic patients are adults. It’s never too late to straighten your smile.

What’s the difference between braces and aligners?

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to straighten teeth. Clear aligners are custom trays that gradually move teeth. Braces are typically more effective for complex bite issues, while aligners offer more convenience and aesthetics for mild to moderate cases.

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

For mild to moderate cases, clear aligners are very effective. For more complex bite problems or severe crowding, traditional braces are often the better choice. We’ll recommend what’s best for your situation.

Do braces hurt?

Braces themselves don’t hurt, but you may experience discomfort for a few days after they’re placed or adjusted. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How often will I need appointments?

Most patients visit every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. The exact schedule depends on your treatment plan and how your teeth are responding.

Can I play sports with braces?

Yes. We recommend wearing a mouthguard during contact sports to protect your braces and teeth. We can discuss options during your appointment.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

Avoid hard, sticky, or crunchy foods that could break your braces or get stuck. We’ll provide a complete list of foods to avoid when we place your braces.
