Braces FAQ
Get answers to the most common questions about braces treatment.
Most braces treatment takes 12-24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. We'll give you a personalized timeline during your free consultation. With our AI-powered treatment planning, we can often achieve results faster than traditional methods.
You may feel some pressure and mild discomfort for 2-3 days after getting braces or having them adjusted. This is completely normal and means your teeth are moving! Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods help during this adjustment period.
Braces start at $4,645 with dental insurance. We offer flexible payment plans from $99/month, accept most insurance, and provide up to $1,000 off for new patients. We'll give you transparent pricing with no hidden fees during your free consultation.
The ideal age is typically 10-14 while the jaw is still growing, but patients of all ages can benefit from braces! We offer our 7 & Up Program for early intervention and treat many adult patients. It's never too late for a beautiful smile.
Absolutely! We recommend wearing a mouthguard during contact sports to protect your braces and teeth. We can provide you with a special orthodontic mouthguard designed to fit over your braces comfortably.
After braces removal, you'll wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. With our Forever Aligned Club, you get lifetime retainer replacement and discounted retreatment if needed. This ensures your smile stays perfect forever!
