Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide between aligners and braces?
- We start with a comprehensive bite analysis, including 3D scans and photographs. Some movements, like significant rotations or vertical changes, benefit from braces’ precision, while many mild-to-moderate cases excel with aligners. We often blend techniques, using elastics, attachments, or limited brackets to achieve the most predictable outcome.
What should I expect at the first visit?
- Plan for digital records, a discussion of goals, and a clear overview of options, costs, and timelines. We review lifestyle factors—sports, instruments, travel—that can affect appliance choice, comfort, and compliance. You leave with a written plan, next steps, and answers to every question.
How do you manage discomfort and emergencies?
- Most soreness peaks within 24 to 48 hours after an adjustment and improves with soft foods, wax, and over-the-counter pain relief. For pokey wires, lost attachments, or broken pieces, we provide quick fixes by phone, video, or in person, so small issues don’t derail progress. Preventive guidance, timely checkups, and good home care reduce urgent visits, protect enamel, and keep treatment moving.
