Steps in Orthodontic Treatment with Braces

  • Aligning & Leveling: Brackets and archwires correct the position of individual teeth.
  • Closing Spaces: Power chains may be used to close gaps between teeth.
  • Fixing the Bite: Rubber bands adjust jaw position to ensure a proper bite.
  • Detailing & Finishing: Minor adjustments to ensure perfect positioning of teeth.
  • Retention: Retainers maintain the new position of teeth and prevent shifting.

Traditional Orthodontic FAQs

Do Traditional Braces Hurt?

Some discomfort is normal after braces are first placed and after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate discomfort.

How Often Do I Need Adjustments?

Patients typically visit the orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments.

Can I Play Sports or Musical Instruments with Braces?

Yes. Wear a mouth guard for contact sports and expect a short adjustment period for musical instruments.

What Foods Should I Avoid?
Avoid sticky foods like gum and caramel, and hard foods like nuts and popcorn. Cut food into smaller pieces to prevent damage.
How Do I Care for My Teeth and Braces?

Brush after every meal, floss daily with floss threaders or interdental brushes, and maintain regular dental check-ups.

Am I Too Old for Braces?

No, you’re never too old. 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over 18. We treat patients of all ages.

How Long Do Traditional Braces Take?

The average duration is 18 to 24 months, depending on age and complexity of treatment.

What Happens When Braces Come Off?

You will need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Initially, it must be worn full-time, then only at night.
