Braces FAQs

  • How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on the severity of the dental misalignment, but most patients wear braces for 1-3 years.

There may be some initial discomfort as your mouth adjusts to the braces, but most patients find that the discomfort fades quickly.

  • How often do I need to visit the orthodontist?

Patients typically visit the orthodontist every 4-6 weeks to have their braces adjusted.

Patients should avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage the braces or get stuck in them, such as popcorn, caramel, and gum.
