How can I take care of my teeth if I'm wearing braces or a retainer?
ALWAYS remember to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.
Who is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has received three to four years of additional training after already completing their Dentistry degree. Your orthodontist is able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile.
Do braces hurt?
Braces do not often hurt though you may feel a small amount of discomfort for a couple days as your teeth, gums, cheeks, and mouth get used to your new braces.
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics (also referred to as dentofacial orthopaedics) is a specialised form of dentistry focusing on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial abnormalities, also called malocclusions.
Will my braces interfere with my school activities like sports, playing an instrument, or singing?
Playing an instrument or a contact sport may require some adjustment when you first get your braces, but wearing braces will not stop you from participating in any of your school activities. If you play a contact sport, it is recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your braces or appliance.
How do I schedule my next appointment?
Simply call our practice! Our front desk staff will be happy to help schedule your next appointment at your convenience. If you are a new patient or have been referred to our practice, please let us know and we will provide you with all of the information you need.
If I get braces, how long do I have to wear them?
The amount of time spent in braces will vary depending on the individual patient, because every smile responds differently to treatment. Treatment times can take anywhere between six and thirty six months, but most standard treatments take about twenty-four months.
Is there any contest going on at your practice?
There's always something fun going on at our practice! Contests, prizes and new smiles! We invite you to visit our practice and find out what's new this month!
Do I need to brush my teeth more often if I have braces?
Yes! In fact, it’s even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can’t reach. This causes bacteria to build up that can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
