Orthodontic treatment aligns your teeth and jaws to create a healthy, functional bite and an attractive smile. Beyond cosmetic improvements, proper alignment reduces stress on the jaw joints, makes cleaning easier, and improves overall oral health. The ideal time to begin orthodontic evaluation is around age 7, though patients of any age can benefit from treatment.
Before beginning orthodontic care, your dentist conducts a thorough assessment including digital X-rays, photographs, and impressions. This information helps us create a customized treatment plan addressing your specific needs. We may also use digital planning technology to show you a preview of your expected results before treatment begins.
Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of your case and the chosen method. Simple alignment issues might require only six to 12 months to correct, while more complex cases typically take 18-24 months. Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit our office periodically for adjustments and progress checks. These appointments ensure your treatment stays on track and progresses at the right pace.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends initial screening by age 7. Early evaluation allows us to identify developing problems and intervene at the optimal time. However, orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age. Many of our patients are adults seeking to improve alignment issues they’ve had since childhood.
Patients typically experience mild discomfort for a few days after adjustments as teeth begin moving. This temporary soreness is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Today’s orthodontic techniques apply gentler forces than in the past, significantly reducing discomfort. Most patients adjust to their appliances within one week.
Yes, retainers are essential for maintaining results. Initially, most patients wear retainers full-time for several months, then transition to nighttime wear. Some degree of lifetime retention is recommended, as teeth naturally shift throughout life. Without proper retention, teeth will gradually return to their original positions.
