Common questions

Do braces hurt?

The first week is uncomfortable — your teeth feel sore as they start moving. After that, you barely notice them. Each monthly adjustment causes mild soreness for 1-2 days. Aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces.

Am I too old for braces?

No. We treat patients from age 12 to 55+. Adult orthodontics is increasingly common — about 40% of our braces patients are over 25. Ceramic braces and aligners make it discreet for professionals.

Can I play sports with braces?

Yes, with a mouthguard. We provide custom sports mouthguards for patients with braces. If you play contact sports, we recommend ceramic or aligners over metal.

How often do I need to visit?

Every 4-6 weeks for adjustments (braces) or to pick up new trays (aligners). Each visit takes 15-20 minutes.
