What to Expect
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child get braces?
At the age of 7, children should be first examined in relation to orthodontic treatment, although the facility starts treatment at the age of 10-14 years. The assessment early assists in planning the most desired outcomes.
Can adults get braces?
Absolutely. Many adults choose orthodontic treatment to improve their smile and dental health. Clear aligners or discreet braces are popular options for adults.
Are braces painful?
You may feel slight discomfort or pressure after adjustments, but it typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief can help if needed.
How often are appointments needed during treatment?
Patients usually visit every 4–8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks.
Do I need to change my diet during treatment?
If you’re wearing fixed braces, you’ll need to avoid sticky or hard foods. Removable appliances allow for more flexibility, but you must wear them as instructed for optimal results.
