We Believe In Fresh Starts
What Is The Best Age For My Child To Have An Orthodontic Evaluation?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. Early assessment allows us to identify potential alignment issues early and determine the best timing for treatment, which can lead to more effective and efficient care.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Typically Take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the specific goals. On average, treatment can last from 12 to 24 months. However, during your initial consultation, we will provide a more precise timeline tailored to your individual needs.
Do I Need To Change My Diet During Orthodontic Treatment?
For those with traditional braces, it’s advisable to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage brackets and wires. With Invisalign, there are no dietary restrictions, as the aligners are removable. We will provide comprehensive dietary guidelines tailored to your orthodontic treatment type.
What Are The Benefits Of Orthodontic Treatment Besides A Straighter Smile?<br />
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontic treatment improves oral health by creating a proper bite, reducing tooth wear and making oral hygiene more effective. It can also relieve jaw discomfort associated with misalignment and lower the risk of gum disease and tooth decay by promoting easier cleaning.
We Picture A World Where Every Smile Is A Masterpiece
Orthodontic treatment not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also improves functionality by ensuring a proper bite. This can reduce wear and tear on your teeth, making oral hygiene easier and lowering the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
