How much do braces cost?

At our orthodontic practice, we're committed to providing high-quality treatment at an affordable price. While the cost of braces can vary depending on individual needs, we strive to offer competitive pricing that's often more budget-friendly than other options in the area. Additionally, we understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant investment, so we offer flexible payment plans and work with various insurance providers to help make braces more accessible for our patients.

How long does braces take?

The duration of braces treatment varies depending on several factors, but typically average between 18-24 months. During this time, your child will attend regular appointments for adjustments to gradually move their teeth into their desired positions. At our orthodontic office, we understand the importance of your time and strive to make appointments as efficient as possible.

Will braces be painful?

No, braces are not painful. However, it is normal to experience some discomfort or soreness after getting braces or following adjustments. This temporary discomfort typically subsides within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the new appliances. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate any discomfort. Additionally, orthodontic wax can be applied to areas of irritation caused by brackets or wires.

How do I know if my child needs braces?

Several signs may indicate that your child could benefit from orthodontic treatment, including crowded or crooked teeth, difficulty biting or chewing, early loss of baby teeth, thumb sucking habits, or an abnormal bite (overbite, underbite, or crossbite). An evaluation as early as 7 years old can lead to better outcomes and a healthier smile for your child in the long run.
