Just need a quick smile? For a lot of people, that’s perfect. That is all they need. While Quick Braces are a great option, they aren’t for everyone. To get started setup a free consultation with Dr. Gilman to determine if it’s a good option for you.
Will braces hurt?
Orthodontic treatment has come a long way in recent years. New technology allows us to use lighter forces to move the teeth over a much shorter amount of time.
You can expect the braces to make your teeth sore for a few days after they are placed and after each adjustment. These adjustments will make you more conscious of your teeth, but they should not be painful. This annoyance can be relieved with an over-the-counter pain reliever (use as directed).
Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and use technology that reduces the discomfort. We use the latest in miniature braces and the highest quality of orthodontic materials in order to reduce discomfort and treatment time.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
That’s a tough question because no two cases are alike. We want to focus on quality and not speed. However, many cases can take 12-15 months with comprehensive treatment lasting from 18-24 months. We finish many cases in less than 18 months, but that doesn’t mean certain cases won’t take significantly longer than this.
What is full/comprehensive orthodontic treatment?
This refers to orthodontic treatment when all permanent teeth are erupted (adolescents or adults). It is more commonly used when a Phase I treatment was not performed.
How do I know if my child needs treatment?
It is usually difficult for you to determine if treatment is necessary because there are many problems that can occur even though the front teeth look straight.
Also, there are some problems that look intimidating and complex which will resolve on their own. Asking your general dentist is a good reference, but we are your best resource since orthodontics is all we do.
Our initial exam is complimentary and we would be more than happy to see your child and make any recommendations necessary.
What age should my child be seen by an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child be evaluated by age 7. Early detection of some orthodontic problems is important in order to take early corrective action and avoid more difficult treatment later.
What are the early symptoms of problems?
Although determining if orthodontic treatment is necessary can be difficult for you to assess, the following symptoms may help in prompting you to seek our orthodontic advice:
- Do you feel embarrassed when smiling or laughing?
- Do you have trouble chewing or biting your cheek?
- Is it difficult to clean between your teeth or do you frequently get food caught between your teeth?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then orthodontic treatment can help.
