Answers to Your Dental Questions
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth, while Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners. Both are effective—your choice depends on your needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete treatment in 12–24 months. We’ll provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
Yes, in many cases! Invisalign is highly effective for mild to moderate alignment issues. For more complex corrections, traditional braces may be the better option.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel some discomfort or pressure after adjustments, but this usually subsides within a few days. We’ll help you manage any sensitivity during treatment.
Can adults get braces or Invisalign?
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment works at any age, and many adults choose braces or Invisalign to improve both their smile and oral health.
How often do I need to visit the dentist during treatment?
Regular check-ins are important. For braces, we typically schedule visits every 4–6 weeks. With Invisalign, visits may be slightly less frequent—but just as essential to your progress.
What can I eat with braces or Invisalign?
With braces, you’ll need to avoid hard or sticky foods. With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners to eat whatever you like—just be sure to brush before putting them back in.
