Frequently Asked Questions
What is orthodontics, and why might I need treatment?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned teeth and jaws. Treatment is often needed to correct crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, or spacing issues, which can affect both the function and appearance of your smile.
What are the different types of orthodontic treatments available?
Orthodontic treatments include traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and removable clear aligners like Invisalign. The best option for you depends on the severity of your dental concerns, lifestyle, and personal preferences.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The length of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most orthodontic treatments take between 12 and 24 months, but this can differ based on the type of braces or aligners used and how closely you follow your orthodontist’s recommendations.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
Orthodontic treatments may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments or when starting a new aligner. This discomfort is usually mild and temporary, with many patients experiencing only slight soreness for a few days.
How do I care for my braces or aligners?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. If you have braces, brush and floss carefully to avoid food buildup around the brackets and wires. For clear aligners, remove them before eating or drinking anything other than water, and clean them regularly. Regular check-ups with your orthodontist are also important to monitor progress.
