Common Questions About Braces
- How do braces work? Your braces push your teeth into alignment by using constant pressure, and by following the wire that connects your brackets. Our doctor will continually check your progress to make sure your teeth are aligning properly.
- Can I still wear a mouthguard? Yes, it is highly recommended to continue wearing a mouthguard while playing high-contact sports.
- How long do I need to wear braces? Depending on the complexity of your case, it can be one to three years. Our doctor should be able to give your specific situation an approximate timeline.
- How do I clean my teeth and braces? You will continue to brush and floss your teeth, using care to get completely around the brackets. Keeping your teeth healthy remains important throughout the treatment.
- Do braces hurt? Sometimes braces can hurt after placement, or feel uncomfortable as your mouth adjusts to the feeling of the brackets. If you experience excessive pain with your braces, contact our office!
- How old do I need to be to get braces? Once you have your permanent teeth, you are old enough to get braces. Many adults get them, too!
