Not sure if it's time for an orthodontic evaluation?

A few signs worth a look: crowded or overlapping teeth, a bite that doesn't quite meet correctly, trouble chewing comfortably, or jaw discomfort that lingers.

A consultation is free, so there's no harm in asking.

If the last time you thought about braces was years ago, it's worth another look.

Today's brackets are smaller, smoother and more comfortable than what you might remember, and they're still highly effective at moving teeth predictably.

Can adults get great results from braces?

Adult jaws are fully developed, so they may not respond quite as quickly as a teenager's, but braces remain highly effective for many orthodontic concerns with the right treatment plan and follow-through.

Meet the small tool that makes a big difference with braces: the interdental brush.

It slides between brackets and under wires to clear food your toothbrush can't reach, and it's small enough to toss in a bag or car for after-lunch touch-ups.

It is the first question almost everyone asks.

Most patients wear braces for about 18 to 24 months, with mild cases finishing near 12 and complex ones running closer to 30.

Your own timeline depends on how much movement your case requires.

Braces need fewer appointments than most people imagine.

Once they're on, you come in roughly every 4 to 8 weeks, and those visits are short by design.

Clean teeth and braces work better together.

Brush above, on, and below every bracket, use fluoride toothpaste, and floss daily with a threader, orthodontic flosser, or water flosser.

If you cannot brush after a meal, rinse well and brush when you can.

Retainers protect the result you worked for.

Many patients begin with full-time wear for several months, then transition to nighttime wear. Long-term nighttime wear is often recommended because teeth can continue to shift.

Your exact schedule should always follow our orthodontist's instructions.

Be sure to also keep the case handy and clean your retainer every day.
