WHO
Braces are worn by both children and adults, not only to improve the attractiveness of your smile but also because braces correct improper alignment of teeth that can lead to gum disease and early loss of teeth.
WHEN
Some orthodontic corrections need to be made early (3 to 4 years of age). Ordinarily, children should be checked by our orthodontist at the time permanent teeth begin to erupt to detect any deficiencies in the child’s teeth formation. This usually occurs at 7 to 10 years of age. Adults should visit the orthodontist to improve the appearance of their smile, as well as overall dental health. Our patients range in age from 7 to 83. It is never too late to have a beautiful, healthy smile.
HOW LONG
We expect your treatment time to last from 18 to 31 months depending on your individual case. Your cooperation in keeping appointments, proper hygiene and care of braces may allow us to finish your orthodontic treatment early.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your initial visit will give you an opportunity to meet the doctor and our knowledgeable staff who will answer any questions you may have regarding orthodontic care. If braces are needed, a convenient appointment will be made for your fitting.
WHAT KINDS
In addition to the popular metal braces (silver or gold) and the “almost invisible” ceramic braces (for those who want their braces worn but not seen), we offer the latest technology, Invisalign (orthodontics without braces).
