Frequently Asked Questions

Do braces hurt?

Short answer: No. Getting braces on is entirely painless, however, you may experience mild discomfort in the 1-2 days following the initial placement of braces or after a major wire change. This discomfort may be managed with regular pain relief as you would for a headache.

When should my child first visit?

There is no fast and hard rule when to first send your child to an orthodontist, however, when they start losing their baby teeth is usually a good time, between the ages of 7-9 years. You may be referred earlier or later by your general dentist for early intervention.

Who can have braces?

There is no age limit for wearing braces. We have some of our most successful and rewarding treatment outcomes with adult patients. The traditional age for braces are in early teens, which is primarily due to the bone growth occurring at this age.
