Why Choose Orthodontics?
Patients should consider orthodontics when they have:
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Crowding or overlapping teeth
- Jaw problems, such as TMJ disorders
Orthodontic treatment not only addresses these issues but also enhances your overall oral health and quality of life.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What age is suitable for orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is not age-restricted. While most people associate orthodontics with adolescents, adults can also benefit from treatment. In fact, there is no age limit for achieving a healthier and more beautiful smile.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies based on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment. Some treatments can be completed in a few months, while others may take a few years. Your orthodontist will provide an estimated timeline during your initial consultation.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
Patients may experience some discomfort or soreness, especially after adjustments or when transitioning to a new set of aligners (in the case of Invisalign). However, this discomfort is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate any discomfort.
How do I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?
Proper oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. Patients should:
- Brush after every meal.
- Floss daily using orthodontic-friendly tools.
- Attend regular check-ups with the orthodontist.
- Avoid foods that could damage braces, like hard candies and sticky snacks.
Can I play sports or musical instruments with braces?
Yes, you can still engage in sports and play musical instruments with braces. It's advisable to wear a mouthguard while participating in contact sports to protect your teeth and braces. Musicians may take some time to adjust to playing instruments with braces but typically adapt quickly.
Will I need to wear retainers after treatment?
Yes, retainers are a crucial part of orthodontic treatment. They help maintain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Your orthodontist will provide instructions on how often to wear your retainer.
Does insurance cover braces and orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment may or may not be covered by dental insurance, depending on your specific insurance plan. Here are some key points to consider:
- Type of insurance plan
- Age restrictions
- Plan details
- Waiting periods
- In-network providers
- Lifetime maximums
To determine whether your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, review your specific plan's coverage details and speak with your insurance provider directly. Your orthodontist will also assist you by providing information and submitting necessary documentation to the insurance company on your behalf. Be sure to clarify any questions about coverage, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses before starting orthodontic treatment to avoid surprises later on.
