Who should wear braces?
Braces are worn by both children and adults, not only to improve
the attractiveness of your smile but also because braces correct
improper alignment of teeth that can lead to gum disease and
early loss of teeth.
When should I visit the Orthodontist?
Some orthodontic corrections need to be made early (3 to 4 years
of age). Ordinarily, children should be checked by our orthodontist
at the time permanent teeth begin to erupt to detect any deficiencies
in the child's teeth formation. This is usually at 8-10
years of age. Adults should visit the orthodontist to improve
the appearance of their smile, as well as overall dental health.
It is never too late to have a beautiful healthy smile.
How long will my orthodontic treatment last ?
Treatment time depends on your individual case. Your cooperation
in keeping appointments, proper hygiene and care of braces may
allow us to finish your orthodontic treatment early.
What can I expect on my first visit?
Your initial visit will give you an opportunity to meet the doctor
and our knowledgeable staff who will answer any questions you
may have regarding orthodontic care. If braces are needed, a
convenient appointment will be made for your fitting.
What kind of braces are available?
In addition to the popular metal braces with which most people
are familiar, we also offer the 'Almost Invisible' ceramic
braces for those who want their braces worn, but not seen.
