FAQs
Frequently asked questions
-
What are braces and retainers?
Braces are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve alignment. Retainers are appliances worn after braces to maintain the new position of teeth and prevent them from shifting back. -
How long do I need to wear braces?
Treatment with braces typically lasts 1–3 years, depending on the complexity of your case. The exact duration will be determined by your orthodontist. -
What can I expect during the braces process?
- Initial Consultation: The orthodontist evaluates your teeth and discusses treatment options.
- Placement: Braces are bonded to your teeth, and wires are adjusted to gradually move them into position.
- Regular Adjustments: You’ll visit the orthodontist every 4–8 weeks for adjustments to maintain progress.
-
Do braces hurt?
Braces may cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments, but the pain is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a soft food diet can help during these times. -
How do I care for braces and retainers?
- Braces: Brush and floss carefully around the brackets and wires, and avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage the braces.
- Retainers: Clean your retainer daily with a soft brush and mild soap or retainer cleaner, and store it in its case when not in use.
