Common questions

We're here with answers.

Get clear, helpful answers to the questions parents ask most about orthodontic treatment.

Smiling child with braces
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

Experts recommend a first check-up around age 7. Many children won't need treatment that early, but an early look can catch jaw growth or habit issues while they're easier to fix, and helps us plan the best timing.

How long will my child need braces or aligners?

Most children finish in about 12 to 24 months, depending on their smile. We'll give you an estimate at the consultation and update it as treatment goes on.

Do braces hurt?

Braces don't hurt to put on. Teeth can feel sore for a few days afterward. A warm saltwater rinse, soft foods and an over-the-counter pain reliever help, and orthodontic wax soothes cheeks and lips.

Can my child go back to school the same day?

Yes. Most children head right back to class after their appointment.

What foods should my child avoid with braces?

Skip sticky, chewy, hard and crunchy foods like caramel, gum, popcorn, hard candy and jerky. Cut apples and corn off the cob into small pieces. Soft foods like pasta, yogurt and bananas are easy choices.

Can my teen play sports or an instrument with braces?

Yes. An orthodontic mouthguard protects their teeth and braces during sports. Teens who play an instrument usually adjust within a few weeks.
