How long should one keep their braces to correct the alignment of the bottom teeth?
How long orthodontic treatment takes for any patient depends on the severity of teeth being crowded or "crooked" and/or how far off a patient's bite is from being ideal. For just your lower teeth, if you're wanting to straighten some minor shifting or crowding, your treatment could be as little as a few months. READ MORE
Does having braces hurt?
Having the braces put on your teeth doesn't hurt generally, but when the wire is placed and tied into the brackets, then it is not uncommon to experience 3-5 days of discomfort. Tylenol and a soft diet can help make this a little more tolerable. READ MORE
My daughter’s middle tooth seems to be out of line from the remaining teeth. Can this be corrected with braces?
It would be a good idea to seek an orthodontist for initial consultation. He or she should be able to explain the dental condition and discuss what treatment options are available. READ MORE
What if only one tooth is crooked?
Some form of orthodontic treatment will probably be necessary to correct you one tooth. That said, there may be other options besides braces. Clear aligners (e.g. Invisalign) might be able to correct your dental condition. You should schedule an initial consultation with an orthodontist so that he or she can assess your dental condition and see what treatment options might work best for you. READ MORE
What is the earliest age someone can get braces?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child be seen at age 7 for his or her initial orthodontic evaluation. That does not mean that treatment will be rendered at that time. Rather, it may be that the orthodontist evaluates your child annually to make sure a dental condition does not worsen. In some cases, early treatment is needed for a variety of reasons. READ MORE
