Proper tooth alignment helps improve the way your teeth fit together, making everyday functions like chewing more comfortable.
Suitable for Children, Adolescents, and Adults
Braces are a reliable treatment option for patients of all ages, with every treatment plan customized to individual orthodontic needs.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper retainer wear after treatment, braces help create a healthy, well-aligned smile that can be maintained for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
ANSWERS TO COMMON ORTHODONTIC QUESTIONS
How long does braces treatment usually take?
Every patient's smile is unique, so treatment times vary depending on the complexity of the orthodontic concerns being corrected. Many patients wear braces for approximately 18 to 24 months, while more complex cases may require additional time. During your consultation, Dr. Agapas will evaluate your smile and provide an estimated treatment timeline based on your individual needs and treatment goals.
Will braces be uncomfortable?
It's normal to experience mild soreness for a few days after your braces are first placed or after adjustment appointments. This discomfort is temporary and is simply a sign that your teeth are beginning to move. Most patients find the soreness improves within a few days and are able to continue their normal daily activities throughout treatment.
Are there foods I should avoid while wearing braces?
Yes. Hard, sticky, and chewy foods can damage brackets and bend wires, which may delay your orthodontic treatment. Foods such as popcorn, chewing gum, caramel, hard candies, nuts, and ice should be avoided. Our team will provide detailed instructions and helpful tips to help protect your braces and keep your treatment progressing as planned.
Can braces correct complex orthodontic problems?
Braces are one of the most effective treatment options for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite irregularities. During your consultation, Dr. Agapas will determine whether braces are the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
How often will I need adjustment appointments?
Most patients return to our clinic approximately every four to eight weeks so Dr. Agapas can monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits are an important part of treatment, helping ensure your teeth continue moving safely and efficiently according to your personalized orthodontic treatment plan.
