Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare for teeth straightening treatment?
Before starting treatment, it's essential to have a dental check-up to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. Any cavities or gum issues should be treated beforehand. A professional cleaning is recommended to remove plaque and tartar, providing a clean surface for brackets, aligners, or other orthodontic appliances to adhere to.
How often will I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?
The frequency of visits depends on the type of treatment. With traditional braces, you’ll typically visit your orthodontist every 4-6 weeks for adjustments. For clear aligners, you will typically have in-person check-in visits every 8 to 12 weeks. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized schedule based on your treatment plan.
What are the dietary restrictions during teeth straightening treatment?
For braces, it’s important to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage brackets or wires. Foods like popcorn, nuts, and chewing gum should be avoided. With clear aligners, you can remove them to eat, but it’s essential to brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to prevent food particles from being trapped. If you drink anything besides water, the aligners must be removed to prevent the acidic pH from drinks to damage the enamel.
Will teeth straightening affect my speech?
It's common to experience a slight lisp or speech alteration at the beginning of treatment with both braces and clear aligners. This usually resolves within a few days as your mouth adjusts. Practicing speaking can help you acclimate faster, and most patients find that any speech issues are temporary.
What happens if I lose or break my aligners or brackets?
If you lose or break your aligners, contact your orthodontist immediately to get a replacement set. If a bracket or wire breaks, schedule an appointment for repair as soon as possible to avoid disrupting your treatment.
Are retainers necessary after teeth straightening treatment?
Yes, retainers are crucial after completing orthodontic treatment. Once your teeth have been aligned, they may shift back to their original position. A retainer must be worn the rest of your life to help maintain your new smile and prevent relapse. Retainers are typically worn 24/7 for a set period, followed by nighlty wear long-term.
