Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any concerns about the alignment of your teeth or jaws, it is advisable to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. They will assess your dental and facial structure and recommend appropriate treatment options if necessary.
Orthodontic treatment can include traditional braces, clear aligners (such as Invisalign), lingual braces (placed behind the teeth), and other specialized appliances. The type of treatment recommended will depend on individual needs and preferences.
• ALWAYS remember to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.
• Make sure to use toothpaste that contains fluoride, and ask your orthodontist or family dentist if you need a fluoride rinse. This will help prevent cavities!
• Continue to visit your regular dentist for cleanings at least every 6 months.
• Avoid sticky and chewy foods (gums, gummy bears, caramel, chewy candy) and hard food (hard breads, pizza crusts, popcorn, nuts, ice cubes)
Braces are used by an orthodontist to help you improve the look and feel of your smile. There are several different types of braces to choose from, including:
• Ceramic braces
• Self-ligating braces
• Traditional metal braces
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. They are an alternative to traditional metal braces and are virtually invisible when worn.Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to the teeth, guiding them into alignment over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. This process continues until the teeth have reached their final positions. Clear aligners are generally more comfortable to wear than traditional braces because they are custom-made to fit your teeth snugly. While you may experience some initial discomfort or pressure when wearing a new set of aligners, this typically subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust
