When Should My Child Start Orthodontic Treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children have their first orthodontic exam at the age of 7. It is possible that problems will develop as the child’s permanent teeth are erupting; but by quickly identifying such problems, you can reduce their severity and prevent early damage. In addition, early orthodontic treatment may eliminate or reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic work later on. Most children do not require early orthodontic treatment.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

On average, early interceptive treatment takes around 12 months and comprehensive orthodontic treatment takes around 18-24 months. The total treatment time depends on a number of factors including the severity of the problems and the type of treatment being carried out. Also, the patient’s compliance, oral hygiene habits, and the ability to keep appointments contribute to treatment length.

How Much Do Braces Cost?

No two orthodontic problems are the same and treatment costs will vary with the different types of treatment provided. Many orthodontic problems require only simple treatment and you might find that the cost is lower than you expected. Costs will be discussed in full at your initial consultation. The fees that are quoted cover all aspects of your orthodontic treatment including all office visits, emergencies, retainers, and follow up visits.

Do I Have to Pay for My Orthodontic Care All At Once?

No. We understand that orthodontic treatment is a large investment and provide a variety of flexible extended payment options. For your convenience, we offer in-house financing options that are interest-free. Some of these options require a down payment.

Do Braces Hurt?

Placement of the braces is painless, and wearing braces is simple and generally quite easy with the modern devices available. Braces need to be regularly adjusted and this can make the teeth feel tender for a few days. Some of our patients take Advil or Tylenol prior to their appointment, however, this is generally not necessary.
