What Our Patients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does braces treatment take?
Most patients wear braces for 12-24 months. Treatment time varies based on your specific needs—some finish early, some take longer, but most are close to the estimated time we provide during your consultation.
How often will I need adjustments?
You’ll visit our office every 8 weeks for adjustments. These appointments typically take 20-30 minutes, where we check your progress and make any necessary adjustments to keep your treatment on track.
What if a bracket comes off?
We offer same-day bracket replacement if you contact us within office hours. Your braces work continuously, so we want to keep you on schedule without unnecessary delays.
Are braces only for kids?
No. While 75% of our patients are children and teenagers, 25% are adults. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many adults love the results they achieve with braces. It’s never too late for a beautiful smile. Learn more about braces for kids from the experts!
Can I choose colored bands for my braces?
Yes! Customizing your braces with colored bands is very popular, especially with teens. You can change your band colors at each adjustment appointment to match holidays, school colors, or your favorites.
What's the difference between Phase I and Phase II treatment?
Phase I is early treatment for children ages 7-10, lasting 6-9 months to address jaw growth or tooth problems. Phase II is comprehensive treatment for ages 11-14+ (or adults), lasting 12-24 months to finalize alignment.
