Frequently Asked Questions About Our Traditional Braces:
When can I get my braces off?
The treatment duration varies depending on individual needs. Typically, treatment can last anywhere from 18 to 24 months. However, the exact time will be determined by your specific case and how well you follow the treatment plan.
Does getting braces put on or taken off hurt?
Getting braces put on or taken off doesn't typically hurt. You might feel some pressure, but it's not painful. As Dr. Maple mentions, "It's more of a mental thing than it is actual physical." After adjustments, you may experience some soreness for a couple of days, which is normal and a sign that your teeth are moving.
Can I get different colors on my braces?
Yes! We offer over 20 different colors for you to choose from. You can change your colors at each adjustment appointment if you'd like.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
You should avoid hard nuts, popcorn, sticky candy, and taffy-type things. Basically, anything that's very hard or sticky can potentially damage your braces or get stuck in them.
How often do I need to come in for adjustments?
With our self-ligating brackets, you typically need to come in every 8 to 12 weeks for adjustments. This is longer than traditional brackets, meaning fewer visits for you.
