Common Questions About Traditional Braces

How long will I need to wear traditional braces?

Most patients wear braces between 18 to 24 months, though your specific timeline depends on your unique smile needs. Your journey begins with a personalized assessment from our in-house orthodontist who will outline your expected treatment duration. We'll track your progress at each adjustment appointment and keep you informed about how your treatment is advancing. You'll start seeing noticeable improvements within the first few months of wearing your braces.

How do I keep my teeth clean with braces?

Maintaining good oral hygiene requires a bit more attention when you're wearing braces, but we'll show you exactly how to keep your smile healthy. You'll need to brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, paying special attention around brackets and wires. We'll provide special tools like interdental brushes and floss threaders to help you clean effectively between teeth and under wires. Regular dental checkups every six months remain essential to ensure your teeth stay healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment.

What foods should I avoid with braces?

You'll need to temporarily adjust your diet by avoiding foods that could damage your braces or get stuck in the brackets and wires. Hard foods like nuts, popcorn, and ice can break brackets, while sticky treats like caramel and taffy may pull on your braces or bend wires. You should cut crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots into smaller pieces rather than biting directly into them. We'll provide a comprehensive list of foods to enjoy and avoid to help you protect your investment in your smile.
