What can kids expect during their first week with braces?
While the installation itself isn't painful, a dull ache or pressure usually kicks in a few hours later. This mild sensitivity can last for a few days as the teeth begin to shift. The good news is that the mouth adapts incredibly fast, and most patients are completely adjusted and comfortable within a week! 🚀🎈

Sometimes teeth get "stuck" in the jaw. 🦷 Early X-rays help us spot these "impacted" teeth before they cause issues for the rest of your smile. Is your child 7 yet? It’s time for their first check-up!

Some bite and jaw concerns need more than braces or aligners alone. 🦷

At Porter Orthodontics, Dr. Joseph Porter works closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to plan orthognathic surgery when needed, helping improve bite function, facial balance, breathing, comfort, and long-term oral health.

With advanced imaging and digital planning, each treatment plan is carefully customized for more precise, stable results. ✨

Think jaw surgery may be part of your orthodontic journey? Schedule a consultation with Porter Orthodontics to learn your options.
