FAQs
What are traditional braces?
Traditional braces consist of metal brackets bonded to your teeth and connected by a wire that gently moves teeth into place over time. Some options include more discreet materials, but metal remains the most common for durability.
How long does treatment with traditional braces usually take?
Most treatment plans last between 18 to 24 months, but the exact timeline depends on the complexity of your case and how closely you follow care instructions.
Are traditional braces painful?
While you may feel some discomfort or soreness after adjustments, this is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods can help during those times.
Can adults get traditional braces?
Absolutely! Traditional braces are effective for both teens and adults. Many adults choose braces to improve oral health and boost their smile confidence.
How do I care for my braces daily?
Good oral hygiene is key. Brush after every meal, use floss threaders or water flossers to clean between braces, and avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage brackets or wires.
