Absolutely! We help adults of all ages find orthodontic solutions that fit their unique needs and lifestyles.
What’s the best age for my child to begin orthodontic care?
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends your child sees an orthodontist around the age of seven, allowing early detection and treatment of any issues while the jaw is still growing.
How long will I have to wear my braces?
Treatment times vary based on your needs. On average, patients wear braces for one to three years. Keeping up with regular check-ups helps ensure smooth progress.
Do braces hurt?
You may experience soreness for the first week after placement, but braces should not be painful during most of your treatment.
Will my braces interfere with playing sports?
Not at all! Just be sure to wear a mouthguard to protect your braces while playing.
Do I still need regular check-ups while wearing braces?
Yes! Regular check-ups are essential to monitor your progress and ensure no hidden bacteria are accumulating around your braces.
