Frequently Asked Questions

Getting braces as an adult can lead to a variety of benefits beyond just straightening teeth. As adults age, their jawbones can lose density, leading to shifting teeth, crowding, and discomfort during chewing or swallowing. Braces can address these issues, improving both the aesthetic appearance of a smile and overall oral health. They can help prevent tooth decay by making teeth easier to clean and can alleviate oral discomfort. Additionally, having straight teeth is often associated with success and attractiveness, which can boost confidence in professional and social settings

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This early visit allows orthodontists to identify potential issues with jaw growth and tooth eruption. While treatment might not be necessary at this age, early detection of problems can lead to more effective interventions later and can help guide the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws.

Once the braces are removed, the journey isn’t quite over! To keep the newly straightened teeth from shifting back, your child will need to wear a retainer. This can be either a removable one worn mostly at night or a fixed one bonded behind the teeth. Retainers are crucial for maintaining that beautiful new smile for years to come.

While using a palatal expander is generally not painful, some discomfort or pressure may be felt, especially during the initial adjustment period. This discomfort is usually mild and temporary as the device slowly moves the bones apart

Most patients feel a brief sensation of pressure across the bridge of the nose or teeth for about 5–10 minutes after a turn, but it is rarely described as “pain.”
