Questions
What orthodontic options are available for adults?
We offer traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign clear aligners for adults. Each option has unique benefits, and our specialists will help you choose the best solution based on your specific needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
We work with most major insurance providers and will help verify your coverage. Many plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatment. Our team explains all financial aspects and offers flexible payment plans to make care accessible.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration varies but averages 12-18 months. Factors include case complexity and patient compliance with the recommended 20-22 hours daily wear. Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
What foods should be avoided with braces?
Avoid sticky (caramel, gum), hard (nuts, ice), and chewy foods that can damage braces. Opt for softer options like pasta, mashed potatoes, and pancakes. Proper dietary choices help prevent treatment delays and emergency appointments.
Can I get braces if I have dental implants?
Orthodontic treatment with implants requires careful planning. While implants themselves can't move, we can adjust surrounding teeth. Our specialists evaluate each case individually to determine the safest, most effective treatment approach.
